High honors students lined up to get breakfast from 1st to 3rd period Thursday, Jan. 25 to celebrate their 2nd quarter academic achievements. 7th and 8th graders arrived during 1st period, freshman and sophomores came during 2nd period and juniors and seniors entered during 3rd period. Students filled their plates with eggs, empanadas, donuts, bagels, bacon and potatoes as they went through the line. At the end of the line, they were offered fresh fruit.

Students played to win among their own friend groups or banded together with students from other tables to create towering Jenga towers. “Jenga was a great way to pass the time,” senior Natasha Cruzado said.
