It was a special morning at Serena Hills today, when the Homewood-Flossmoor Baseball Team stopped by for a visit. They read some books, taught us what it means to be a good teammate, and played Simon Says! Thanks to Coach McCarthy and all the players for the special visit!

We had a tubular day celebrating the ‘80’s! Our January PBIS celebration was a gnarly hallway “glow” dance party. We shook our radical glow bracelets to the max while we jammed out to 80’s music!
