Mrs. Boyd’s Native American Studies class had an amazing day at the Indigenous Day Parade!
It was a great opportunity to celebrate culture, history, and community together.

Students became little scientists as they tested out different tools to see how bird beaks work! Using a variety of “beaks,” they experimented with picking up different materials—just like Darwin’s finches!
This hands-on activity in Mrs. Simmonds' classes helped them understand how birds adapt their beaks to survive in their environments. It’s amazing to see evolution come to life right in the classroom!

Apple Taste-Testing Fun in Mrs. Bacon’s Class! 🍏
Mrs. Bacon’s students had a blast participating in a hands-on apple taste-testing activity! 🍎 They practiced reading a nonfiction passage and learned how to annotate fun facts about apples.
Afterward, students sampled five different apple varieties and created a taste-testing chart to compare colors, smells, flavors, and textures. Everyone voted for their favorites — here are the results:
🥇 Cosmic Crisp – 9 votes
🥈 Granny Smith – 9 votes
🥉 Pink Lady – 6 votes
🍏 Fuji – 4 votes
🍎 Golden Delicious – 2 votes
This activity encouraged descriptive language, chart-making, critical thinking, and discussion — all while making learning interactive and engaging! 🍎

In Mr. Wadsworth's class, students played the classic game Telephone to practice active listening—an important skill we're focusing on in our new Life Skills unit!
It’s amazing how quickly messages can get mixed up if we’re not really paying attention. This game helped students see why listening carefully is so important, not just in school but in everyday life too.

In Dr. Peter’s class, we celebrated Homecoming Friday with popcorn while watching the movie versions of the stories we've been reading in class. Once the movie is over, students will get to practice their essay writing by comparing the film and the printed stories. Fun and learning all in one day!

In Mrs. Newbury’s science classes, students got hands-on with air pressure by using a vacuum to suck the air out of a trash bag wrapped around one of their classmates! They’re discovering how gases and fluids change with temperature and pressure—and seeing how volume plays a big role. Science you can actually feel—how cool is that?!

In Mrs. Peters’ class, good behavior means BIG rewards! She plays Behavior Bingo, and every time the students “behave,” they snag a square. Get a BINGO? Boom — it’s TREAT TIME! Her awesome 2nd-hour crew hit the jackpot and devoured a breakfast feast fit for champs: pancakes, bacon, OJ, milk, and chocolate milk — the whole works! Keep shining, superstar students! 🌟

🏈FOOTBALL PLAYER OF THE WEEK🏈
Each week, we’re proud to recognize student-athletes who go above and beyond on the field and show great sportsmanship, effort, and team spirit.
This week’s standout players are...
👏 Logan Vigueras – 7th Grade - " He turned in one of the best rushing performances of the season, cruising past the 100-yard mark with ease behind a dominant offensive line. His vision, effort, and toughness helped set the tone for the offense and powered the team to a strong performance"
👏 The Entire Team – 8th Grade – "Last night marked the 8th grade’s first win since their 6th-grade season, and it was a total team effort! There were standout moments all over the field—Lyric Watkins made an incredible one-handed touchdown catch, Chevy Moore recorded a tackle for loss that resulted in a safety, and Boston Cape and Christian Lona led a dominant rushing attack behind a fantastic offensive line. To top it off, Gixxer McClain sealed the game with a clutch interception.
This week, it wouldn’t be right to single out just one player—the entire 8th grade football team earned Player of the Week honors for their effort, teamwork, and determination! "
Way to go, players! Your hard work, dedication, and team-first attitude make us proud!
