The Junior English class is currently reading The Great Gatsby, a classic American Literature novel set in the 1920's. To get everyone in the spirit, Mrs. Hubbell threw them a 1920's-themed party. Students had to create either a "mocktail" or appetizer that would have been served at a Gatsby party and give a brief speech over why it would've been served there. Students then enjoyed their creations while watching a film version of the story!
