Ms. Laurenzi's English 11 Honors class has been studying The Great Gatsby. Throughout the unit, students researched various aspects of the 1920s; each group had a topic that they created a notes handout about and a visual representation to teach the class about their topic and discuss how The Great Gatsby relates to their subject. On Friday, they participated in a gallery walk, during which they walked around and learned about the 11 topics covered. Subjects ranged from sports to automobiles, fashion, women's rights, the Harlem Renaissance, and more. #BKP #SCCares #everyday

A day of missed school is a lost opportunity for social development. By coming to school every day they’re not sick, your child is gaining social skills that will land them their first job as an adult like time management, collaboration, and problem-solving. #BKP #SCCARES #everyday
