Election Celebrations

The election season is not over, and tensions remain high across the country. As we write this at 4pm on Thursday, we still do not have a confirmed victor in the Presidential race.  However, we’d be remiss to not mention the numerous developments over this past week that showed civic engagement in our community is at an all time high, and election results that are critical for the future of education funding. 

Pet of the Week: Luna Simone

It’s been too long since a fluffy friend has graced our Helix pages, and these days especially, we need them more than ever. That’s why we’re particularly excited to feature Brittnee Merritt, Manager of Student Recruitment (and good friend of the blog) and her brand new kitten named Luna Simone!

Post-Election Resources

There’s no getting around it- this has been an election season we’ll all remember. And while anxiety is high for many of us, we can still make room for civil discourse and respectfully explore different perspectives. No matter what the results are, we’ve compiled below some resources to leverage in your virtual classroom! We hope you will find these helpful as we navigate these remarkable times!
