In seventh grade<\/strong>, students have been preparing for an assessment related to the American government and its organizational structure. They took their test Friday morning.

In eighth grade<\/strong>, students completed their research and presentations on issues in American government. Issues ranged from drug policy, childcare costs, healthcare costs, 988 funding, cost of living, climate change, and healthy eating habits. They did a great job practicing their use of data to support their understanding of complex issues.<\/span><\/p>\n
