Hannibal School District #60

🏛️ HHS History Club Spring Break Trip On Friday, March 13, members of the HHS History Club traveled to the Thomas F. Eagleton Federal Courthouse in St. Louis for their annual spring break field trip. Students explored the Judicial Learning Center, heard from attorneys representing both the Federal Public Defender and U.S. Attorney’s Office, observed a federal sentencing hearing, and participated in a Moot Court experience inside the U.S. Court of Appeals courtroom. The group wrapped up the day with a visit to the Soldiers Memorial Military Museum. It was a meaningful, hands on learning experience and a great (windy) day in St. Louis! ❤️🏴‍☠️ 📸Photos Contributed by Jim Coniglio #HannibalProud #TogetherWeThrive

📚 Read Across America Week wrapped up in a fun (and tasty) way in Mrs. Leapley’s 1st and 2nd grade class at Oakwood Elementary! Students celebrated by trying green eggs and ham and graphed their results. As Dr. Seuss would say, “We do so like green eggs and ham! Thank you! Thank you, Sam-I-Am!” Such a fun way to end a week of celebrating the joy of reading!! ❤️🏴‍☠️ #HannibalProud #TogetherWeThrive #OnceAPirateAlwaysAPirate 📸 Photos Courtesy of Caitlin Leapley
