Today was "Transcendentalism Day" in GT American Studies, and as always, it was a great lesson! The AmStud students learned about Ralph Waldo Emerson and Henry David Thoreau while out in "nature" on the trail behind Wakeland. After reading an excerpt from Thoreau's "Walking" essay and comparing his ideas to a modern article by Carol Kaufmann focusing on the researched health benefits of nature , they took some reflective time to appreciate the sounds of running water In the creek and birds chirping in the trees.

Frisco ISD cattle teams recently took part in several competitions across the state, providing them with valuable experience in livestock exhibition as they represented their programs with pride.
Independence senior Ava Baldwin and Heritage senior Camryn Garcia exhibited steer and heifers at a show in Bonham in late September, demonstrating dedication and responsibility while preparing and showing their cattle.
Griffin seventh grader Reese Dodson and Wakeland sophomore Griffin Dodson represented Wakeland FFA at the Heart of Texas Fair and Rodeo in Waco this month, exhibiting their heifers in the livestock show. Reese placed third and Griffin earned fifth place during two shows in a very competitive Simbrah class.
