Congratulations to our 7th and 8th Grade academic team on a great season. Finished the season off one win away from making it to state. Proud of them for their effort and determination.
PK and K will be doing fingerprinting on the 25th. Forms were sent home and need to be returned before students can be fingerprinted.
Mrs. Yakel's Senior English class has worked hard on a True Crime unit where students selected an unsolved crime of their choice. Each student had the opportunity to play detective and dig into theories pertaining to their selected crime. After conducting extensive research, students wrote a research paper presenting information about the crime. Finally, they constructed a mini crime scene to present to their classmates that depicts the crime's most important aspects. This hands-on project combined critical thinking, research skills, and creativity. Great work, seniors. #PAWSitiveThings #SeniorEnglish #HandsOnLearning
Mrs. Bandy’s 7th Grade Science class is digging into Natural Resources and Human Impact!
Today, students put their skills to the test with a hands-on lab where they had to carefully extract “resources” by mining chocolate chip cookies. They quickly discovered that mining isn’t as easy as it looks — and that protecting the environment while gathering resources takes planning, patience, and responsibility!
Learning + chocolate = a sweet day in science!
