Welcome to L-S Social Studies
As you enter our room, you will be reminded of our purpose.
|
At Lynnville-Sully, our educational mission is to "empower students to pursue their dreams." It is evident in the Social Studies room that empowerment is exactly the purpose. As a student in any one of our Social Studies courses, your voice will be heard and respected, your curriculum is filled with your own learning choices, and you will be empowered to pursue learning AT YOUR OWN RISK! That's right, "Teachers can only open doors, but you must enter by yourself."
