Yesterday, Mrs. Marenda’s classes had a great time doing an interdisciplinary STEM activity. In science, they researched, designed and built catapults using recyclable materials. They then used them to launch marshmallows at a castle as part of their Middle Ages unit in World History.
Morning Flights …. Mr. Holman’s 1st hour 7th graders were flying paper airplanes this morning to see whose could cover the greatest distance. The students created the planes by graphing lines in slope intercept form.

On Wednesday, April 13th, 33 students in 5th-8th grade participated in our first in-person Solo and Ensemble Contest since 2019!

Their performance was judged by local music teachers who left that night very impressed with their ability and preparation. Congratulations to all who participated!
