What the day looked like for teachers and studnets:

9th-11th grade students were in Connections and were able to watch the HOF assembly on CHSLive. Seniors were able to be in the volleyball gym and watch the event live. Connections students discussed the purpose of the HOF. Teachers were encouraged to also highlight some of the inductees that would be speaking. While we know it was not ideal to watch in classrooms, all teachers and students made the best of the situation and promote its value to your Connections kids. Teachers are encouraged to facilitate activities like letters to inductees, writing reflection, or discussions to serve as follow up in the days following the program.
