News for Students...by Students!

Remember TCAPs are again next week, get good sleep and study for them.

Remember your only limit is your mind.

Stay positive, stay focused, and continue to give it your all!

Our students have been diligently focused on TCAP testing, demonstrating impressive concentration and determination. As we know, balancing mental focus with physical activity is key to maintaining performance. Encouraging our students to take mental breaks can enhance their productivity.

We would like to mention that TCAPS will continue next week Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday. Then will finish Tuesday 29th. One more thing we would like to mention is that 8th grade prom will be May 10. 

Keep up the great effort, everyone!

Freeze Tag with the VEX IQ

Did you know robots can participate in Freeze Tag? Our middle school CTE/STEM students are actively engaged in building and programming VEX IQ robots equipped with innovative sensors. These students are not only learning to design and code but also applying their skills in a fun and competitive environment. As they complete their projects, these robots will be ready for the Freeze Tag challenge, showcasing the blend of technology and teamwork.

Problem solving and planning good game strategies required!

As we wrap up Week 1 of TCAP testing, we couldn't be prouder of our students' dedication and hard work! The MindCave is a wonderful space for them to decompress, learn, and have fun. Here's to more achievements ahead!

🌼 Students have engaged in hands-on learning by observing the life cycle of butterflies and crafting 3D insect models using creative materials like pasta and candy.

The final product required students to include a head, thorax, abdomen, 6 legs, 2 antennae, and 2 eyes.This project not only fosters creativity but also enhances understanding of living things.

Creative and engaging!

6-8

Middle school art class made kinetic drawings that exercise both sides of the brain. Partners paired up to "mirror" each other's movements while also their right and left hand mirrored each other.

The artwork was inspired by the artist Heather Hansen, who uses dance choreography, yoga, and mindfulness to create her kinetic drawings.

What a great exercise in concentration and cooperation!
