Mrs Raftery's classes celebrated their last day before Thanksgiving Break with "Cookies & Quizzes". The math students shared a sweet treat while working hard on their quizzes!

Cassidy Hurd, Napoleon Alumni, and World's Toughest Row Participant visited Napoleon High School this week. She talked to our students about her journey across the Pacific Ocean in the "World's Toughest Row". Hurd rowed 38 days across the Pacific Ocean, pushing her physical and mental limits. She hopes to inspire the next generation to chase their dreams no matter the challenge. It was a packed house and students enjoyed hearing about her adventure!
