Yesterday was our PBIS Incentive Day! Our students had a blast working at different stations throughout the day. There were art classes, board and card games, a kickball tournament, and even a FOAM PARTY! Thank you to everyone who helped make this event a success! It was a fun finale to the school year!
Mr. Brown's 7th-grade Social Studies classes stepped back in time with hands-on learning by building their own ancient aqueducts. This STEM project challenged students to design the most efficient system using water pressure and the force of gravity.
In another creative twist, students taped drawing paper under their desks to experience the artistic challenge Michelangelo faced while painting the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel. Innovation and imagination were flowing in every direction!

This week, Mr. Ater’s 7th grade science classes launched their homemade rockets into the sky! Each student crafted their own rocket from a 2-liter bottle, carefully designing and balancing it to achieve the longest possible flight time.
The tour continues for our 8th graders in Washington, D.C., as they explore some of our nation’s most iconic landmarks with stops that include Mount Vernon, the Washington Monument, the Thomas Jefferson Memorial, and the Franklin Delano Roosevelt Memorial.
Our 8th graders are having a blast in Washington, DC this week, showing off their squid hats in the Museum of Natural History!
