Today, in conjunction with PACA, Page County Sheriff's Department, Luray Police Department, and Stacey's Towing, students at Luray High School were able to see a car that had been in a recent crash, experience what it is like to try to function "under the influence" (with the use of goggles), drive "while under the influence," and participate in a field sobriety test (while wearing the under the influence goggles). This event was held today, prior to prom, to reinforce to students that driving under the influence can have severe consequences.

This year English Learner Night focused on cultural arts. Students learned about Frida Kahlo and created their own self portraits. We did a unit on “The Best Part of Me” where they chose what they liked best about themselves and wrote about it. For their family connect project they picked a famous artist from their home countries and did projects that were displayed. This year we had several teachers join us and our middle school Spanish teacher had her students create projects to display as well. We hope to continue to grow this event and have more of our families participate. Este año la Noche de Estudiantes de Inglés se centró en las artes culturales. Los estudiantes aprendieron sobre Frida Kahlo y crearon sus propios autorretratos. Hicimos una unidad sobre “The Best Part of Me” donde eligieron lo que más les gustaba de ellos mismos y escribieron sobre ello. Para su proyecto de conexión familiar eligieron a un artista famoso de sus países de origen e hicieron proyectos que se exhibieron. Este año tuvimos varios maestros que se unieron a nosotros y nuestra maestra de español de la escuela secundaria hizo que sus alumnos crearan proyectos para exhibir también. Esperamos seguir haciendo crecer este evento y que más familias nuestras participen.

As a culminating project for "Book Club" in Mrs. Alger's English 9 Honors class, students were given the choice of doing a poster or a painting a ceiling tile from her classroom. The projects had to include a scene from the novel, a memorable quote, and a symbol of significance. What great work the students produced. The tiles have now been placed back in her ceiling and the work is on display for all students to see.
