Every Wednesday in homerooms teachers will give a vocabulary word and its definition to students. Use the word correctly in a sentence or demonstrate the word in an illustration and turn it in Thursday during lunch period for a chance to win a gift card. The best entry each week will be announced Friday and win a $10 Target gift card!

This week’s word is: Adversity [ad-vur-si-tee] — (n) misfortune, unfavorable turn of events.

Congratulations to Hayley Mongoy (’17) for winning with her sentence: “In a time of adversity, she revealed her true malevolent personality.”
