Students had a chance to sample the items and provide feedback/comments. We sincerely appreciate Mr. Patel and the Sodexo staff coordinating this opportunity for our students.

In Miss Welden's ELA classes, students learned S.E. Hinton's purpose for using symbolism in the classic novel, The Outsiders. The students transferred that knowledge to create a "Character Croc" for the favorite Greaser or Soc. Each Croc blueprint included five customized Gibbitz to represent their character, a key to identify and connect the symbols and a character summary.
