It's College Colors Day AND Tattoo Your Teacher Day! As a fall iReady incentive students received tattoos and got to tattoo the teachers of their choice! So much chaos but so much fun!!!! What a great way to start a Friday before a long weekend!!!

Our Avid Ambassadors encourage you to donate a local business T-Shirt or two for our staff to wear on AVID Day, September 12th! Contact Mrs. Charles to coordinate pick up or send shirts in with your student!

Tomorrow is National College Colors day! Come to school dressed in your favorite college colors and attire! (Dress code still applies no hats, please.)

Mr. Watson and the 8th grade AVID students utilized the time without internet today doing some collaborative SAT Prep using flash cards. The fresh air outside was just what they needed too!

A huge round of applause for Mr. Eubanks for going the extra mile to support his colleagues and creating a collaborative environment. He was surprised with his favorite, chai tea.

No internet? No problem! Students in Mrs. Bo’s classes embraced the challenge by forming mini breakout groups to dive into discussion questions for their new short story—no technology needed. Great minds, great conversations, all offline! 💬📚

We are so proud of our 8th grade AVID students for teaching our non-AVID elective students how to calculate GPAs!

Students in Ms. Pierce's class put their inference skills to the test today to make predictions about what could be inside the mystery box!

Students in Mrs. Linkous' 6th grade social studies classes spent last week using CHOMPS, a close reading strategy, to learn about geography and map reading skills. They became the expert and taught the class the information that they discovered. Students then took notes while they watched their peers present! #readingnonfiction #studentexperts

8th grade science students explored different types of friction today by testing how changing the surface affects movement. Lots of discoveries, lots of fun… and even Axel was watching closely, wishing he could join in on the experiments!

Students in Mrs. Williams’ Design & Modeling classes  showcased their innovative designs for a foot orthosis tailored for children. Through a structured decision-making process, they presented their prototypes and utilized a decision matrix to evaluate each design. This experience not only enhanced their problem-solving skills but fostered collaboration and critical thinking.

Mrs. Harper's class is learning characterization in their short story "The Medicine Bag" by using the STEAL method. This was a great cross-curricular moment to practice evidence and reasoning that they learned in science!

News from our athletic department! Mark your calendars for Thursday! We hope to see you at our football scrimmage! Go Wolves! 🐺
