Academics

Our 8th grade class of 2028, spent some time last week playing board games as part of their weekly guidance session. The purpose of this activity was to bond as a class and work on their individual social skills.

Engineering Design students finished their project on gliders and created hot air balloons. They learned about drag, thrust, and lift.

Also a huge shoutout to our middle school track athletes also did a fantastic job helping with check in, hip number distribution, making sure all the officials had water and Powerade, and especially for making sure the random water bottles were picked up from the infield. Great job team!
