A group of Mr. Schumacher’s AP World class took a trip to Germany over spring break.
After visiting Munich, the students on the AP World trip spent time in Berlin, the capital of Germany.
On the way to Berlin, students visited Mödlareuth, which was the divide between East and West Germany. This town was known as “Little Berlin,” and was guarded as closely as the Berlin Wall.
The first day was jam-packed with history: Students took a guided tour of Berlin’s major sites, a walk through the Memorial the Murdered Jews of Europe, a stop at the Berlin Wall and Checkpoint Charlie, a visit to the Topography of Terror Museum, and a panel discussion on growing up in Berlin during the Cold War.
On the second day in Berlin some student participated in a chocolate-making workshop at Ritter Sport, while others visited the GDR Museum. Students then learned about modern Berlin at the Global Berlin exhibition at the City Palace. Finally, students participated in a scavenger hunt that had them exploring the city and ended at the famous Brandenburg Gate.
Thank you to all you helped make this amazing experience possible for our students!
Each quarter, Mrs. Miller's English 10 students participate in a Book Challenge. Each day, students read for 5 to 10 minutes to begin their English class. First semester, all sophomore students were competing individually in each class period. Quarter three had students participating in a class period competition. Not only were students reading a book for English 10 Book Club, but also reading the other books to be the class that read the most.
Congratulations to Mrs. Miller's first period class! Before break they received the infamous "Miller Mix" and will receive another prize early in quarter four.
Quarter Four Book Challenge will begin this week as students select a book of their choosing to read the first 5 to 10 minutes of class each day.

The students were EXCELLENT chefs and everyone enjoyed themselves.
