The High School Theater class recently played in a game called Minefield! Working in pairs, one student was blindfolded while their partner used clear stage directions and communication skills to guide them safely around obstacles.

A fun way to build teamwork, trust, and theater skills! 🌟

🔎 History Comes to Life in 6th Grade!

Students in Ms. Chenelle’s history class stepped into the role of archaeologists during an exciting classroom “archaeological dig”! 🪏

Students uncovered artifacts, made hypotheses about what each item may have been used for in the past, discussed their ideas with classmates, and recorded their findings.

🌟 Highlights from Ms. Chenelle's classes!

After a long first Friday, Ms. Chenelle's 6th graders took a well-deserved break outside and played a board game that encourages students to get to know their classmates and build new friendships.

Meanwhile, our 8th graders put their critical thinking skills to work as they created “articles” for their class Constitution, discussing the values, expectations, and agreements that will help guide their classroom community this year.

We're excited to see students connecting and collaborating as we kick off another amazing school year! 💜

Summer has a way of reminding us that growth often happens quietly.

As the flowers continue to bloom around our campus, we’re reminded that our students do the same, each in their own unique way, with a little sunshine, encouragement, and care.

We hope you’re enjoying a summer filled with adventure, laughter and time to grow. We can’t wait to welcome our students and families back for another year of learning, friendship, and new beginnings.
