The students worked together to create community artwork at our Heart and Soul Draw-a-Thon! Their creations are amazing!




For our Heart and Soul Draw-a-Thon, the theme was "Better Together." We love how the students worked together to create this artwork at the Draw-a-Thon.
Heart and Soul centers were a success! We had lots of fun working together.



Yesterday, we celebrated Heart and Soul Week with special recess centers including a kind messages chalk writing center. We LOVE their messages to other students!

Students in Ms. Patterson's and Ms. Lett's ELA classes read informational texts. Through their reading, they learned about plants and the nutrients plants need. As a special part of their learning, they planted seeds together.
Students in Ms. Thierry's 6th grade Social Studies classes recently created cuneiform tablets!



During Friday's advisory, all of our middle school students worked with their classmates to create Word Art about Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. We love their designs and the words the students used to describe Dr. King.
