Our monthly assembly is a time when all students and staff come together in the same room to learn about what’s coming up in the next few weeks. Students also participate in the assembly in various ways.

Today, it was Radi’s and Meri’s turn to give a presentation about their country, where they talked about their culture and traditions. Their presentation was amazing, and everyone was captivated by the interesting details and engaging way they shared their heritage. Please see some pictures below.

At Portena, all eighth graders come together to read twice a week!

During these sessions, students can choose their own books. This freedom makes reading enjoyable and encourages exploration of different genres.

This reading habit not only improves literacy skills but also creates lasting connections among students. We’re excited to see the positive impact on our Portena community! Happy reading!
