Each morning during the announcements, Dr. Cook shares a word of the week that aims to grow and expand our student's vocabulary. They learn the definition, some synonyms and antonyms, and hear the word used in a sentence. To help celebrate National Hispanic Heritage Month, our Communities in Schools Program Manager chose students to present our word of the week in Spanish. These students did a wonderful job sharing a new word with us while showing Hispanic pride!   ✨
