It's a Gatsby Party! Students in Mrs. Brownlee's Junior English and AP Language classes completed an escape room to review The Great Gatsby Chapters 1-3. Groups names were Gatsby themed, such as "The Green Light Gang" and "The Flapperettes." Each group completed challenges on characters/setting, literary devices, and literary analysis.
PHS Hope Squad sponsored "Team Tuesday," encouraging students to wear their favorite team jerseys and work together through fun outdoor games like football and baggo. It was a great way to build school spirit and strengthen our sense of community! 🏈🎯 #OurTribeStory
