📚✨ Book Club Recap! ✨📚

Yesterday, our book club had a fantastic discussion about They Went Left by Monica Hesse! Students and staff shared their thoughts on the book, wrote thank-you notes to the Omaha South High Alumni Association for their generous support in providing books, and enjoyed some tasty treats.

We were especially excited to welcome staff members to our meeting and hear fresh perspectives! Looking forward to our next meeting after Spring Break!

From page-turning reads to engaging events, 1st Semester at the South High Library was filled with discovery and connection! 📚✨

Thank you to all the students and staff who made the library a place for learning, creativity, and community. Here’s to an even greater 2nd Semester! 🚀

A special treat in the library today! Mrs. Palmer, our talented Chinese World Language teacher, arranged a cultural performance that brought the beauty of traditional Chinese arts to South High. Students were mesmerized by the enchanting sounds of the Gu Zheng and had a hands-on opportunity to explore the art of Chinese calligraphy.
Here are some incredible examples of their calligraphy and a short clip of the Gu Zheng performance. The library was alive with music, art, and excitement!
