Our 8th Grade Language Arts classes just wrapped up The Outsiders unit! 🙌
Students explored the major differences between the two rival groups in the story — the Greasers, often seen as lower-class “hoods” and outsiders of their community, and the Socs, the upper-class teens known for their wealth and privilege.
To celebrate finishing the novel, students had the chance to dress up as their favorite group while watching the movie! 🍿✨
Such a fun way to bring literature to life! 💛📚🔥

🐝Harvard Junior High 6th Grade AVID on the Move!🐝
Our AVID sixth graders had an incredible field trip exploring their futures and caring for our community! Students kicked off the day with an inspiring tour of McHenry County College, getting a firsthand look at college life and the opportunities that await them.
They then headed to Hennen Conservation Area, where they rolled up their sleeves to help remove invasive species and protect our local ecosystem.
We’re so proud of their curiosity, teamwork, and commitment to making a difference—both for themselves and for the world around them!
