Inaugural Expo Night: A Celebration of Student Achievement

Posted Date: 01/22/26 (03:47 PM)


Our first-ever Expo Night was a resounding success! It was incredible to see our halls filled with families and community members celebrating the hard work and innovation of our students.

Please check out all the attached photos and videos from the event:

  • A Global Feast: Our international students shared their heritage through a delicious spread of traditional dishes, including Burmese Taka Paw (lemongrass and bamboo shoot soup), Kabuli Pulao (savory rice with meat and raisins), Afghan Ashak (lentil-stuffed dumplings), Firni (custard), spiced Kofta, and fresh Salata.
    Exploration of the 60s:
    Students from Mrs. Quackenbush’s class presented detailed posters exploring the cultural and historical impact of the 1960s.
  • Engineering & Design: Mr. Bryden’s students displayed their projects from the school year, including the bridges they built for an upcoming competition.
  • Creative Writing: English 10 students in Mrs. Herrick’s class shared their original poetry, featuring their clever and artistic "Book Spine Poems".
  • STEM Club: Members of the STEM Club, led by Mrs. Goodwin and Mrs. Sharlow, featured the various hands-on projects they have been developing this year.
  • Spanish Club Flavors: The Spanish Club prepared traditional Arepas, sharing the history of this "breakfast delight" while serving up a delicious cheese version of the cornmeal cakes
  • Intro to Theatre Arts: Mr. Higgs' students displayed their creativity through musical theatre dioramas, stage setups, and custom posters based on their research into various shows.
  • Geometry in Action: Mrs. Tamburrino’s geometry class exhibited their unique alternative assessment projects, demonstrating mathematical concepts through creative design.

Thank you to all the faculty who guided these projects and to the families who came out to support our talented Rams!
