#3 In Case You Missed It

Mr. Elliott's 8th Grade Science Class

Mr. Elliott's 8th Grade science students wrapped up our Earth Science unit in style! This past week, we tackled the ultimate geography challenge: drawing topographic maps from scratch using only descriptive prompts. From sketching steep cliffs to gently rolling hills, these Red Devils proved they’ve got the skills to read the land like pros.

Mrs. Alexander's Digital Design Lesson

Mrs. Alexander’s 8th graders brought their creativity to life—turning digital designs into awesome final products! Their custom t-shirts were the perfect “merch” for their professional sports team project.

6th Grade Science Catapult Project

6th Grade students in Mr Bush’s Science class recently designed and built their own catapults to demonstrate potential and kinetic energy. Students were graded on their designs, as well as accuracy and distance.

6th Grade Pet Day

Students in Mr. Bush’s 6th Grade Science class recently participated in Pet Day. They were able to show off their various pets and discuss adaptations, environments, and feeding requirements.

The Giver

Students in Mrs. Mooney's 7th Grade Reading Classes, just finished reading The Giver by Lois Lowry. Through the years, this novel has proven to be a crowd favorite. This novel demonstrates the value we should place on our families, the memories we make with our families, and the freedom to make choices. Students are now enjoying seeing the story brought to life on the screen as we wrap up the school year watching the movie.
