Congratulations Ingot Athletes!
October 10th was World Mental Health Day. Sometimes life can be overwhelming and it can be hard to work through difficult times. Did you know that the River Forest High School Guidance department has a calming area for students to use? Did you know that the Guidance department Google Classroom pages have Virtual Calming Room with resources for students to utilize?
Middle school art students were busy in the 1st quarter collaborating to create these Kelsey Montague inspired wings and a Dot Day display inspired by Peter H. Reynolds. #Whatliftsyou was a great conversation starter in our classes and students sure did make their mark kicking off the school year! Stay tuned for what's coming next with Mrs. Rutherford!
