HTHS Students Participate in Slice of Life Challenge!

For the second year in a row the entire freshmen class at High Tech is participating in the Slice of Life blogging challenge! This year we have a number of students blogging on our private Kidblog, but we also have a number of students blogging publicly. They would love to hear from you, so feel free to comment on their entries.

The challenge is to write daily. Students are blogging their slices of life, or stories of small moments in their lives, for at least 20 days this month. They have been challenged to write a new slice and post it every day between March 1st and March 31st. While it can be difficult at first, a few students have noted that are already enjoying the challenge and find themselves looking at their daily lives a little differently. They are encouraging one another with comments, too.

If you are interested in checking out their blogs, please see the list below:
