Jane Addams High School 10 Week Academic Recognition, 125th Day of School, and Releve Hip Hop Dance Class
This past month there have been many celebrations and activities for Jane Addams High School. On the 125th day of school, we showed appreciation to students with proficient and basic attendance by giving them goody bags and celebrating their accomplishments with their peers. Every student also received recognition and a token of appreciation for being present. We also took time to recognize and reward students who have completed 1-5 classes the first 10 weeks of Spring Semester. It is important to make our students feel appreciated for their accomplishments and to let them know we see how hard they are working. Jane Addams High School has also introduced the Releve Hip Hop Dance Class every Thursday during periods 2nd, 3rd, Lunch, and Advisory for all its staff and students to enjoy. This allows a safe space where students can relax, have fun amongst their peers and learn Hip Hop dance and develop collaboration and leadership skills. Please see the photos in the Releve section below.
