Mrs. Picken's Creative Writing class spent a class period at Oak Grove Cemetery on the northern edge of Manito. They used the location as a place to observe and reflect on different writing angles: sights, sounds, feelings and curiosity. These observations and reflections will be put into their creative nonfiction writing projects.

Students in Ms. Brodbeck's Spanish 2, 3, and 4 classes were able to try cubano sandwiches. Cubanos have roast pork, ham, cheese, mustard, and lots of pickles! Despite their name, cubanos are more of a Miami food influenced by Cubans than a Cuban food, although Cubans enjoy them too!
