Emotional Intelligence Awareness Month reminds us that understanding our emotions is key to strong relationships and a healthy mindset. Encourage students to name their feelings and express them in positive ways! 😀
Consistent attendance matters! 📚
Chronic absenteeism isn’t just missing school—it’s missing out on learning. Students who are chronically absent are more likely to experience lower academic performance, higher dropout rates, and long-term disengagement.
Let’s work together to help our students show up, stay engaged, and succeed. Every day counts! 💪🎒

🌟 Key Club Trashcan Beautification Project 🌟
Our Key Club students are stepping up to keep our campus looking its best! 🗑🐾

This project is all about promoting pride, cleanliness, and community at our games. A huge thank you to our Key Club members for their time, creativity, and leadership in making a difference!

💥 Our 6th grade science students are diving into the world of chemical reactions! Using vinegar and baking soda, they conducted experiments to observe evidence of a chemical change. By carefully measuring temperatures and recording observations, they concluded that the reaction was endothermic, as the resulting mixture became cooler than the original substance. 🌡️
But they didn’t stop there! To wrap up their investigation, students analyzed the chemical equation and ensured it was properly balanced - confirming that both sides contained all 14 atoms. Through this hands-on activity, they demonstrated a key principle of science: matter cannot be created or destroyed. 🧪✨
Hands-on learning = big discoveries!

📚 On Thursday and Friday, Ms. Ambrose’s English 12 DE classes participated in a college admission simulation!
With guidance from Ms. Rush, students acted as enrollment committees who had to evaluate a list of ten candidates, decide which three to accept, and defend their choices. 🎓
The activity gave them a behind-the-scenes look at the college admissions process from the flip side, and sparked thoughtful discussions about what makes an applicant stand out. 🌟
