Great time and great learning experience for all.

No Jury Duty for Me

I'll be in school for 50s & 60s Day.

50s & 60s Day 2015

50s & 60s Day is Wednesday, February 18th and takes place in school. The main event will be a 50s-style game show with contestants from all of the social studies classes. There will also be limbo, hula-hoop, and yo-yo contests and a sock hop.





How to dress. . .

First, look around the house and/or ask some willing family or friends to let you look in their closets. You’ll be surprised what you might find. Below are some suggestions for making a simple outfit look like the ’50s or ’60s:
