English II A students at Pacific High School recently participated in a fine arts gallery walk to deepen their understanding of Julius Caesar. 🎭
As they explored a variety of artistic depictions, students analyzed elements such as color palette, lighting, materials, facial expressions, and gestures. They then connected those observations to what they have learned about Caesar’s character through their reading of Shakespeare’s play.
This activity created thoughtful discussion as students brought literature and visual art together! 🎨

Attendance plays a critical role in student success! 🙌
Research shows that in 8th grade, chronically absent students score an average of 18 points lower on national tests than students who showed good attendance. Those missed days add up, creating gaps that can be difficult to close over time.
Families, schools, and students all play a role in supporting good attendance. When students are present and engaged each day, they are better prepared to learn, grow, and reach their full potential!

Members of Pacific Intermediate’s Crystal Club were rocking their geology exploration as they carefully used tools to crack open ordinary-looking geodes and reveal sparkling crystals inside. 💎✨
Students discovered that you cannot always judge a geode by its cover, as some were filled with clear quartz while others revealed beautiful smoky layers. It was a smashing success as students explored geology firsthand and uncovered the hidden treasures beneath their feet!
