*Classroom Spotlight* Ms. Givinsky and Mrs. Miller Physics/AP Physics Class Forensics Science

Physics & ACC Physics: It’s important to
expose students to key concepts that
match their current ability level while also
introducing material slightly above it. This
balance helps build confidence and
ensures understanding of foundational
skills, while the more challenging content
stretches their thinking and promotes
growth. When students are regularly
exposed to higher-level ideas, they
develop perseverance, critical thinking, and
the ability to apply knowledge in new ways
—key skills for long-term academic success
and lifelong learning. A great idea to
combine classes to expose students to
new learning opportunities!

I love learning new things and it's really rewarding to
see people grow intellectually, socially and
emotionally.

What are your hobbies or interests outside of school?

I hike, I read and I spend as much time as possible in
the woods or on a boat.

Do you have a favorite quote or motto that inspires

thought we went along paths―but it seems there are
no paths. The going itself is the path.” CS Lewis

What inspired you to become an educator/choose your
profession?

I have always enjoyed reading, so I majored in English
thinking I would pursue a career in book publishing. In
undergrad, I worked for a program at Oakland University
tutoring at-risk youth in Pontiac and Oak Park and really
enjoyed getting to be a part of their success story, so I
decided to pursue a Master's degree in secondary
education. While taking classes, i subbed during the day and
really enjoyed sharing good stories with students.

What are your hobbies or interests outside of school?

Outside of school, I read a lot, hang out with my dog Milo,
and catch up on my TV shows or good movies.

Do you have a favorite quote or motto that inspires
you?

Anything worth doing, is worth doing well.

*CLASSROOM SPOTLIGHT* Mr. Savalle's English Class

Students were engaged in a thoughtful lesson that
combined technology, reading, and discussion to
strengthen comprehension skills. Using their
Chromebooks and a handout for the bell ringer,
students began with a quick activity before moving
into the main lesson. Mr. Savalle opened with a
personal story to connect to the reading, then
introduced “Old Guys and Newspaper.” Through a
read-discuss-read-discuss format, students actively
listened, shared ideas, and connected meaning to the
text. Afterward, they completed a related activity, all
within a familiar routine that reinforces consistent
goals for learning and engagement.
