"Stargazing"
By: Madden Matthias
The world, a glimpse, of wonders above,
Basking in each starlit cove.
A meteor strikes across the sky,
I wonder where my secret lies.
Gazing up, up and away,
Upon the boardwalk my thoughts will stray.
Peeking down the palm abyss,
Wallowing in guilt, I reminisce.
I see the waves and air unite as one,
And realize my victory is already won.
The specks of light always come up,
The abyss of anxiety I rise above.
I choose the light, and the dark I outrun,
My fate as sure as the rising sun.

Students celebrated Poem In Your Pocket Day on April 26th!

Our 6th graders worked very hard on their personal poetry collections.
All were on display to see ...

Lily T. received a WOW note from Ms. Moon after writing a very heartfelt letter recommending a dress down day to benefit those that have been effected by the devastating flooding in Kaua'i.
This Wednesday, May 2nd, will be a $2.00 Hawaiian Dress Down Day. Students can wear Hawaiian or tropical tops/dresses with jeans or dress down shorts. Please be sure that students still dress in appropriate sneakers for recess and PE classes. Aloha!

Harrison T. was so proud to receive a WOW note from Ms. Moon and Ms. Spillmann after going above and beyond in the research and planning phase of his Food Truck project. After settling on a main product for his project - salmon burgers - Harrison reached out directly to the manufacturer of the brand he settled on in hope of receiving recipe ideas for his unique idea...
Well no surprise - following Harrison's detailed and heartfelt letter, Icicle Seafood, Inc. wrote back! After letting them know exactly what he needed, they sent Harrison cans of salmon, recipes, a guide on salmon, and stress balls shaped like their cans.
All of our hardworking 5th graders will get the chance to show off their Food Truck ideas during our Food Truck Challenge on Thursday, May 17th.

6th grade Maker Space students selected to work on either a neonatal 3D printing design team for Winnie Palmer Hospital or a 3D printing design team to create an ENT Model for Nemours Children's Hospital.
Dr. Alexander of Winnie Palmer tasked student design teams to develop a 3D printed laryngoscope tool, used for opening the airway for a premature baby. These students presented their projects to Dr. Alexander at Winnie Palmer Hospital on April 24th for his critique and feedback.
Also on April 24th, 6th grade design teams headed to Nemours Children's Hospital in Lake Nona to receive critique of their 3D Printed ENT Models. Students took real patient's DICOM images and turned them into 3D Printed models for Dr. Wei to provide peace and understanding to child patients facing ENT surgeries.
What an authentic and experiential project for our students to partner in the meaningful work of local doctors for life saving impacts! We wish to thank all the parents who joined the trip and both Winnie Palmer Hospital, Dr. Gregor Alexander and Nemours Children's Hospital, Dr. Julie Wei, for their learning collaboration with our students!
Enjoy
