Ms. Ruffertshofer’s 7th Hour Academic & Wellness class is building important life skills in a fun and engaging way! Through an energetic game of charades, students are strengthening teamwork, collaboration, creativity, cooperation, and personal ownership.

To make it even more challenging, students created and acted out full scenes — not just single objects. It’s amazing to see communication, problem-solving, and leadership skills come to life in such a positive way!

Today our 7th graders visited the Alden B. Dow House for the annual “At the Dow House” writing program! 🏡✍️

With the home staged to reflect life in the 1940s & 50s, students explored, observed, and used rich sensory details to craft creative pieces! 📚✨ The experience wrapped up with a guided tour of this incredible space.

History + creativity = powerful learning! 🎉
