March is a special time as we celebrate Music in Our Schools Month, Dance in Our Schools Month, and Theatre in Our Schools Month! 🎵💃🎭 Today, we honored that with a Fine Arts Assembly filled with incredible performances from our choir, orchestra, dance, theatre, and band students. Each performance was a reflection of months of dedication, passion, and hard work as these students prepare for CPA, theatre competitions, and dance showcases. Their commitment to their craft truly showed today! We are so proud of our students and deeply grateful for the teachers who guide and inspire them every day. The arts bring our school to life, and today was a beautiful reminder of just how important they are. 💜

Mrs. Archie’s dance classes took time to watch recordings of their performances and reflect on their growth. 💃 Students practiced thinking like performers by noticing their strengths and identifying areas to improve. It was a great opportunity to build confidence, set goals, and continue leveling up their skills!

Due to weather, C-team practice is cancelled.
Softball will be in the auxiliary gym today.

🧬🦋 Genetics is in the air in 8th grade science! Our students kicked off their new genetics unit by exploring structures, behaviors, and adaptations of plants and animals. Today’s challenge? Designing butterflies that use camouflage or mimicry to blend into our classroom environment. 🎨👀 Some butterflies are already doing an excellent job hiding in plain sight… but the real test comes Thursday when the 8th grade teachers turn into the predators and go on the hunt! 🕵️‍♂️🦋 May the best camouflaged butterfly survive the classroom jungle! 🏆🌿
