Leading Edge Weekly Update
Principal's Message
Hello Leading Edge Families!
This week in Leading Edge, 7/8 Homeroom Classes created paper flowers (la flor de papel) and papel picado banners were hung in the Leading Edge Hallway as students learn about the art and history of Dia de los Muertos. In addition, students in 8th grade participated in a self-directed Science seminars related to physics on film sets. Our 6th Grade students finished their narrative writing and enjoyed getting peer feedback from their classmates! In addition, 6th grade students are creating Mesopotamian mythology posters and enjoyed a team-building activity with 8th grade WEB leaders.
Sincerely,
Caroline Hines
