Junior Great Gatsby Celebration

Junior Great Gatsby Celebration
Eleventh graders enjoyed a Great Gatsby party today. Secondary English teacher, Mrs.
Stack culminates each year with this party so the students have a great memory attached to
this wonderful literary classic. Students dressed in Roaring 20s attire and some daring
students enjoyed dancing the Charleston. Students enjoyed going to all of their classes
dressed as characters from the early twentieth century. Click here to see more photos.

“Everyone then who hears these words of mine and does them will be like a wise man who
built his house on the rock. And the rain fell, and the floods came, and the winds blew and
beat on that house, but it did not fall, because it had been founded on the rock.”
Matthew 7:24-25 NKJV
