Seventh graders in Mrs. Mazza’s math class used their math skills to master the Easter Escape Room this week! The escape room theme made the students the Easter Bunny’s helpers who got kidnapped by the Wicked Weasel. They had to crack the code to free the Easter Bunny and save the day. In order to escape the Weasel, students were challenged to use a wide variety of math skills like fractions, decimals, percents, algebra, applying rules of operations, coordinate grids, and logic puzzles. Escape rooms are really popular among this age group so getting to practice important skills, while engaging on a level that students can identify with makes learning fun for everyone!

Key Club held a campus wide cleanup on Tuesday afternoon, taking full advantage of a beautiful spring day!

Softball and baseball fans will have a great concession menu this year thanks to a generous donation from the OASPE 593 Union. This union includes our bus drivers, paraprofessionals, secretaries, cafeteria and maintenance departments. Before the season began, our coaches realized they needed some new equipment to continue to offer hot food at the field. They asked for donations of crockpots that staff may no longer be using, but our OASPE members stepped in and stepped it up! They provided them with 2 brand new extra large Crock Pots and a bread new microwave! Thank you OASPE 593 for supporting our athletes and our fans!

Third graders have been diligently working on their multiplication facts and celebrated today with an ice cream sundae party! As they made their way up the multiplication fact tracker, they were awarded with a different part of the sundae. Initially, students were awarded with the bowl and spoon for basic facts. As facts increased in difficulty they earned their scoops of ice cream, syrup and cherry on top! As you can see, they were really excited!

This is a fantastic opportunity for students interested in manufacturing and engineering with Honda, while earning an Associate’s Degree through Edison State.
