Our students enjoyed a wonderful Read Aloud focused on literacy and diversity, featuring the book Who Has Hair Like Mine?
We were honored to have author Michelle Burch join us in person, while her daughter, illustrator Blanca Burch, joined virtually. Together, they shared the importance of literacy by reading a meaningful story that celebrated identity and diversity.
It was a memorable experience that sparked great conversations and learning for our students! 💛📖

Our 7th grade Survey class is Motivating Our Relatives to Explore (M.O.R.E.) by inviting families into the classroom! This parent has come three times now, working collaboratively with his child to gain a better understanding of the Engineering and Manufacturing pathway offered at the Academies of Racine High Schools. Together, they participated with a team in the project of designing a foot and ankle orthosis, one of the key projects the student had the opportunity to explore.

💛 Watching families learn together was truly special. Parents practiced their English skills with their children across all four domains—speaking, listening, reading, and writing—and seeing them support each other was inspiring.
We wrapped up the session sharing hot chocolate and a conchita, which made the experience even sweeter. ☕️🍞
