Mrs. Koch’s World History class has been studying major world religions. With Buddhism, mindfulness and meditation are ways to achieve peace. Mandalas are a way that Buddhists focus their energies.
The students made mandalas out of found, natural objects in the rec area. They needed to focus on finding radial balance with their mandalas. Radial balance is shown by making circles throughout the mandala.
This was s fun way to get outside and have a mask break while learning :)
It certainly is feeling like Fall in the mornings!

Here is a breakdown of the new CHSAA seasons:
As you are aware, there has been a great deal of media attention on the Governor's announcement about wanting to start football in what is called season A. If the Governor has his way, some schools could start football season as early as September 28, if they choose to play in season A. These are challenging times as information is shared daily making it more confusing.
As it stands now with the information given to us today, we will stay with Season C. In speaking with Mrs. Wallace and the coaches, we feel our athletes would not be ready for competitive tackle football in less than two weeks. We have been conducting an off season workout schedule with students staying in their cohort groups at this time.
Here's a video from Superintendent Goines and Athletic Director Cody Hines with more info:
