Congratulations to the sophomore class Top Readers (Lucy, Mackenzie, Dina, Bella, Sawyer, and Skyler).
These sophomores read the most books quarter two. Each day in Mrs. Miller's English 10 classes, students begin the class by reading from books they have chosen. Also, any spare time students are not working on classwork, they are able to read.
Battle of the Books is a voluntary reading incentive program for students in third through twelfth grade. Students form teams and then, usually, divide up a predetermined list of books to read. From there, they come together for competitions during the school day to determine which groups have the strongest understanding of the books.
This week, the four remaining 4th grade and four remaining 5th grade Battle of the Books teams battled it out in the 2nd round of competition. The top four teams are moving on to next week's elimination round. Congratulations to "Dream Big" (Psyla, Li'Onna, and Addy) for being the top scoring team this round!
Music classes from elementary school to high school don’t just create musicians—they develop well-rounded individuals ready for the future! We see the arts as so much more than just classes—they’re a chance for kids to take a break from the standard academics, grow, and explore passions they didn’t even know they had. 🎼✨
🎤 How Music Transforms Students:
~ Boosts Academic Performance: Students in music programs often excel in math, reading, and problem-solving.
~ Builds Confidence: Performing on stage or in a group helps students conquer fear and embrace leadership.
~ Encourages Discipline: Practice and dedication in music translate into success in every aspect of life.
Our music department truly sets our kids up with endless opportunities. Whether it’s becoming a music teacher, performer, sound designer, audio technician, or even a film score composer, music education opens doors to creative and fulfilling careers!
4K learners are developingtheir math understanding through the creation of symmetrical snowflakes. When they were done, they lined up to make a pattern with their creations. Great job to our young mathematicians!
4K students recently engaged in a Directed Drawing activity! While our learners loved the process and seeing the end result, our staff knows just how much a Directed Drawing activity benefits everyone, including sequencing, strategizing (planning ahead to ensure there is enough space for a complete drawing), and strengthening (of fine motor skills), the benefits are many!
Working with a small group enables each artist and their creation to be celebrated!
Congratulations to our Dance team who qualified for State in Pom and Kick! In addition, Kira qualified for All-State. Best wishes for a great State experience this Friday!
