It's Game Day!!

Mrs. Sud's students grew mineral crystals this week while exploring Geoscience.

Student Scientists in Mrs. Bowles class compared photosynthesis and cellular respiration by creating the chemical equations for both reactions using cereal. Students were able to visualize the cycling of matter in a tasty way!

After a successful Region Band Audition on Saturday, we are excited to announce that nine of our students earned All-State callbacks! These students placed in the top percentage of their sections and will advance to a second round of auditions on Saturday, January 24, at Chapin High School. Official Region Band results will be released following the All-State auditions, but in the meantime, please join us in congratulating these outstanding musicians!

Mr Haskins' class working on area and perimeter! Always earning as we go!

Mrs. Taylor’s Geometry students worked hard today creating congruency posters for their classroom gallery wall. They used SSS, SAS, ASA, AAS, and HL to prove triangle pairs congruent. Way to go tigers!

We love having our students back on campus this week after a well-deserved Winter Break! 💛🐯 Here’s to a great start to the new year! 🎉

After working hard all week on tutorials IN AVID, it was time for some reindeer games!

Our Student Council hosted their first Service Project Saturday.
Our students were in two locations at once. They visited Breaking Bread for Jesus and the Greer Relief Agency.
More great projects to come!

🧪 Hands-on Science Fun! 🧪

Camp Leopold delivered an awesome lesson on pH balance! Students tested the pH of everyday items and discovered which liquids are acids, bases, or neutral. Learning science through real-life experiments makes it even more exciting! 👩‍🔬👨‍🔬

Student Scientists in Mrs. Bowles’ class reflected on what we have learned this semester by using Adobe’s generative AI to create ugly sweaters. Students entered prompts to create sweaters representing a topic from the semester and the wrote a paragraph explaining the sweater. A big thanks to Ms. Stapleton, our tech coach, for helping us!

🎶✨ Join us for our Winter Band Concert! ✨🎶
Come enjoy a night of beautiful music and celebrate the hard work of our talented students. We hope to see you there! ❄️💛

Mr. Gillian's 7th Grade ELA Class did a fun activity to review "A Christmas Carol." These students got to quiz their peers on questions about what happened in the play to prepare themselves for their upcoming test.

The Beta Club delivered toys for patients and toured Shriners Hospital today. Truly a blessing to be part of this effort and to spread a little joy. 💛🎁

Student council leadership retreat off to a great start!
