Students are visiting the library and checking out books each week! We have a new selection of books this year, and students are excited to check them out. Many of our older elementary classes have established their goals and researched book genres which helps them know what type of books to search for. Our younger elementary students enjoy story time filled with Mrs. Perdue's animated voiceovers, and of course, lots of giggles!

Seventh grade Math students in Mrs. Mazza's classes are studying order of operations with a pumpkin match game. This activity requires students to use order of operations to solve given expressions. When students solve the expression, they find the matching answer on another piece of pumpkin. This is a great way for students to practice their skills and self-check their progress. Keep up the great work, seventh grade!

Our food science students did their first cooking lab of the year making pancakes today! One very important lesson for everyone was not to squish the pancake! Reasonably enough, the students thought it reduces cooking time. Now that they know otherwise parents are in for a great breakfast this weekend (for those willing to allow the mess😂). Everyone did a great job!
