Today was a quick yet memorable trip to Cedarhurst Center for the Arts! Our students came away inspired by the experience. They will use the information they gained today next week as they prepare their projects for this year’s youth fair.

Mr. May's junior class (and a few extras) traveled to Cinemark Paducah today to watch Animal Farm. During their freshman year, students analyzed the novel in English I and made real-world connections with propaganda and group ideologies. Students enjoyed getting out of the building to see the new film adaptation of George Orwell's beloved novel.

Reminder from Joppa Maple Grove: Today is a 1:45 PM dismissal. Please plan accordingly. Thank you.

📢 Reminder for Tomorrow!

Students in 2nd through 6th grade will be visiting the Cedarhurst Center for the Arts on May 1st. Please make sure your child wears comfortable clothing and walking shoes so they can fully enjoy the experience.

For a preview of what they’ll see, take a moment to watch this short video:
