History came to life at CCHS as Mr. Richardson's students declared their independence from the school! For a hands-on history project, groups worked together to create their own declarations inspired by the United States Declaration of Independence. Students got creative as they outlined their “grievances” and explained why they believed they should be free from CCHS. It was a fun and unique way to connect with history while putting their own spin on a famous moment in time! #BDP #BetterEveryDay #ForksUp
