It was so wonderful meeting with all the parents this Wednesday at Parent Teacher Conferences. Thank you for all you do to support your children! Thank you also to all the parents and volunteers who attended our Feed My Starving Children food packing field trip. This organization has developed a unique food-packing system for volunteers to actually participate in bagging the meals that will be sent around the world to areas in crucial need. We packed 121 boxes!
6th graders began a new unit on Plate Tectonics! One of our first activities was exploring the different types of volcanic eruptions. Students saw the differences between magma with more or less gas. You could say it was pretty exciting and somewhat explosive!
The 8th Grade Class took their Federal Constitution test on Tuesday, and many achieved their score goal! This test showed their comprehensive knowledge of the branches of government and their rights as citizens. For a final tutoring session on Monday, students participated in an "Amazing Race" scavenger hunt, with Constitutional clues hidden around the school, a National Anthem performance, and an Amendments sort. Congratulations to the winning team!
