In celebration of Hispanic Heritage Month from September 15th to October 15th, please join Ms. Turner in reading The Red Umbrella by Christina Diaz Gonzalez. 

Advisory meets daily for 15 minutes before or after lunch with your SPARK teacher. Advisory programs foster meaningful personalized relationships between students and adults, outside of graded classroom environment. Typically teachers meet with small groups of students for the purpose of advising them on academic, social, or future-planning issues. This is a time for students to discuss various current events and challenges they may be facing with a trusted school personnel. ​
