PLTW medical detectives have been studying the parts of the brain. 🧠 This week, they got to dissect a sheep brain to get a closer view of the parts and functions!

Tonight was a fantastic night for our Fine Arts students! 🎭🎶 The evening featured our choir students performing their pre-CPA concert, followed by a fun improv show from our theatre troupe. In between performances, orchestra student Fabrizio wowed the audience with an incredible magic act! ✨ Thank you to everyone who came out to support! We are so proud of our amazing students and all the hard work they put into making nights like this so special. 💜 #PantherNation

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.

Our week at a glance: performances, report cards, and a career fair! Let’s have a great week, Panther Nation! 🐾

🧬🦋 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! 🏆🌿
