These experiences all have behavior expectations connected to them. If students receive two or more behavior referrals or any suspensions for major behavior concerns from April 25th through the date of their experience, they will not be able to attend/participate.

The Wax Museum is a special project completed by this year’s 7th grade students. Each student has been assigned a famous historical figure from world history to research. As part of the project, they are creating informational posters to showcase their findings. During the Wax Museum event, students will bring history to life by portraying their chosen figures as “wax statues.” When visitors approach, the students will briefly “come to life” to deliver a 15–20 second speech about their person, then return to their frozen, wax-like state. Family and friends are invited to attend the Wax Museum on Thursday, May 8th, from 4:00 to 5:30 PM in the Middle School Cafeteria. Come support our students and enjoy this fun and educational event!

Mrs. Dagley will be at the Wax Museum event to answer any questions 7th graders and their families may have about the 2026 East Coast Trip. The deadline to sign up and get the $100 discount is this Friday, May 9th!

This week, we wrap up NWEA (Northwest Evaluation Association) testing! There are some resources linked below to help with understanding all of these different assessments and how to help our students achieve success!

If you're driving near M-66 and Arthur Road that morning, please be extra cautious and give our tractor drivers a big wave!
