According to Mr. Mainini:
This class is composed of 30 responsible and respectful students that are constantly striving for both academic and personal excellence.  Despite the size of the class each student makes a daily effort to communicate and collaborate respectfully during classroom activities and discussions. Their embrace of the Spanish language and willingness to take risks while speaking has made the class both fun and intriguing.

Congratulations to Ms. Welch’s 5th period portfolio class for being selected as February’s Class of the Month.  The class was nominated by Ms. Welch for displaying Raider Core Values  including respect, excellence, and responsibility.  This group of hard working students works both individually and collaboratively on a variety of projects, critiques, and discussions.  Ms. Welch notes that they are self-motivated and set challenges for themselves; they continually show creativity and innovation in their work.
Recently, students have been diligently working on a proposal.  There are a number of aspects to the proposal and the students have faced several challenges, however, they are enthusiastic about this self-directed assignment and continue to collaborate with their peers in a positive way.

Congratulations to Ms. Welch and her 5th period portfolio class for all your hard work and effort!  This is a well-deserved recognition!
