Holy Family School News I've been able to invest more time in our classrooms in the last few weeks, and have been chatting with teachers about the teaching and learning that takes place in their classrooms. There are some really engaging things happening, (reenacting the black plague, service learning projects, coding robots) and we continue to work toward improving our engagement. As I type this, later today I will meet with all Holy Family teachers, and we will share some of the best classroom techniques we have used to leverage novelty in the classroom for the sake of piquing student curiousity. It would appear that the classrooms are becoming increasingly vibrant as we all continue to grow in our respective roles, and as always, the students are the beneficiaries! Zachary Zeckser, Holy Family Chief Administrator zzeckser@holyfamilycr.org... Janet Whitney, 5-8 Associate Administrator, jwhitney@holyfamilycr.org...
