Mrs. Pizzi's 5th-grade students became historians, researchers, and writers through the "Resilient America" PBL experience.
Students explored the lives of influential Americans who faced adversity, demonstrated perseverance, and helped create positive change in their communities and our nation.
Using primary and secondary sources, students researched historical figures, analyzed evidence, and created documentary-style presentations that highlighted the power of resilience, leadership, and service.
Through their work, students discovered that challenges can inspire innovation, courage, and lasting impact.

Students registered to vote, received voter registration cards, and cast their ballots in the Great Cookie Election: Chips Ahoy or Oreo.
And the winner is… CHIPS AHOY!
Through this fun, hands-on activity, our future voters learned why voting is important, how citizens help make decisions, and how government gets its power from the people.
They’re discovering that every vote counts!
