A series of six student-written and student-directed original plays, titled "Tales from the Hallway" was performed Friday in the auditorium. In typical Piedmont fashion, the plays did not sugar-coat, but explored how the issues young people care about- from LGBT rights, to recycling; bullying to parenting- play out in real life today.

PL for Ms. Malone's students means neighbors working on various assignments at their own pace.  Student Ownership in Ms. Lyttle's class means she always have a colorful room and student-maintained website!

Fiestas aside, spring is a time of intense focus, as these students finish their book with Ms. Hanson.
