On Monday, June 1st, our sixth-grade students had the opportunity to explore Strayer Middle School! Tour guides welcomed students as they entered Strayer and headed to the auditorium to learn some of the ins and outs of middle school. Principal Dr. Crater and Assistant Principal Ms. Maddon stopped by to say hello and welcome students during their tour of the school. Sixth graders also met with club representatives and explored the hallways! It was a great day to start planning for the 2026–2027 school year.

Go Panthers!

Fresh air. S’mores. Fishing. And friends. What a joy and privilege it was to join our 7th-grade students at Camp Nock-A-Mixon for Outdoor School this past week. Students spent two days participating in outdoor activities such as canoeing, archery, hiking, and more—even Dr. Hoffman got in on the fun!

But the work of creating Outdoor School’s menu began last winter in Ms. Jerrom’s health and physical education class. Eighth-grade students explored an interactive nutrition lesson on food groups to help create the Outdoor School menu. Each class began with independent interactive activities where students focused on different food groups each day. This project was developed with ongoing support from QCSD Instructional Coach Mr. Silvius. Together, they designed the lesson to provide students with faster feedback, create a more collaborative experience, and allow teachers to be more present during instruction.

Do you know the reason for the seasons? Mrs. Bauer's sixth-grade students took a hands-on approach to answering that question. We have the privilege of visiting her science class at the Sixth Grade Center and watching students uncover the answers behind Earth's seasonal changes.

Mrs. Bauer explained that the Earth’s 23.4” axial tilt and its orbit around the Sun cause the seasons. Students were asked to recreate each season using small globes and flashlights as models. By shining their flashlights on the small globe, keeping the Earth tilted at 23.4", students observed how the sunlight spreads out or becomes more concentrated.

Students illustrated each season and the positions of the Sun and the Earth, using globe and flashlight models to guide their sketches. Students were instructed to draw arrows indicating the different orbital directions and axis rotations.
