The past two days in Mrs. Henderson's 8th Grade Science were full of energy and excitement as students reviewed for their semester test by playing Grudge Ball! 🎯
This interactive game kept everyone engaged while reinforcing key science concepts they've learned this semester. Students worked together, thought critically, and showed great sportsmanship—all while having fun and building confidence for their upcoming test.

Bulldog Families,
We are approaching winter break and moving further into the winter season, which may or may not bring inclement weather! Our district prioritizes student and staff safety when monitoring winter weather. The decision to close school or transition to a virtual learning day is a multi-faceted process that involves monitoring weather forecasts, assessing local conditions, and coordinating with local authorities. Please read our Decision-Making Process!
We hope all of our students and staff have a great week leading into winter break!

Mrs. Goodwin’s ELA classes reviewed Principal Parts of Verbs with a fun relay race instead of a traditional worksheet. The pressure to fill in the blanks quickly (with good penmanship and correct spelling) proved challenging for some, but everyone had a good time!
Zooming closer to Winter Break! Kicking off the week with wearing your craziest Christmas socks 🧦
Recently students reviewed figurative language in a library lesson with Mrs. Garrett. Then they worked together in groups to complete a Question Trail answering questions centered around different types of figurative language.
Mrs. Garrett works hard to create a fun space in the library and it pays off!

Mrs. Freeny's and Mrs. Maupins' 7th grade ELA class has been learning about figurative language in songs . Today's song was "Happy" and they danced it out at the end. They even had Mr. S. bust a few moves out, too!!!
8th graders in Mrs. Goodwin’s ELA classes participated in their first Socratic Seminars this week. A Socratic Seminar is a structured student-led discussion that dives deeper in to analyzing text - in this case The Diary of Anne Frank - and collaborating with peers to actively engage in dialogue.
One class also benefitted from the knowledge shared by a high school intern regarding the practice of Socratic Seminars in high school and college level courses. Our intern shared with students how practicing Socratic Seminars now will help prepare them for high school and beyond.

Mrs. Fortino's Health and Wellness class sat together in a circle and passed a ball from person to person, focusing on the importance of communication, teamwork, and trust. As the ball moved around the circle, they talked about how every individual plays a vital role in keeping our “community chain” strong.
Activities like this help us build stronger relationships, practice active listening, and recognize how each one of us contributes to a positive classroom environment.
