Sometimes you have to get a little creative to encourage your students! Mrs. Davis challenged her math classes to achieve GROWTH, promising they could "tattoo" her based on their individual growth. Judging by her face, it's safe to say they were pretty successful! Our teachers and students are doing great things at SJHS!
