A Week of Inspiring Learning at QMS
This week at QMS has been another incredible journey of learning and discovery. I had the privilege of visiting several classrooms and witnessing firsthand the amazing work happening throughout our building. I was captivated by engaging math lessons in 8th grade, witnessed science teachers igniting curiosity in our 6th graders, and observed students delve into the fascinating world of history. It's truly inspiring to see the dedication of our teachers and the eagerness of our students to learn.
With just a few weeks until February vacation, we're excited to continue our learning journey. We're eagerly anticipating our 6th Grade Concert next week, followed by a well-deserved break. Enjoy the weekend, and we look forward to welcoming everyone back to school on Monday!

The Qualters Ideal
The Qualters Ideal is not that we will all agree with each other, or even like each other, every minute of the day. It is rather that we will respect each other's rights, especially the right to be different, And that at the end of the day, we will understand that we are one people, one school and one community
