🐸 Mrs. Boyle’s 6th graders dissected frogs in order to have a hands-on review of organ systems & classification. They were able to study external and internal structures by finding the vomerine teeth, tympanic membrane, lungs, heart, liver, stomach, kidneys, and more! They also determined if they had a male or female frog and found out that most of the frogs were female and packed with eggs! It was an exciting day in Science!

We’re excited to share some fantastic news! Two of our students, Ethan Repass and Kai Encomio, recently earned a grant from the National Association for Secondary School Principals (NASSP) through their Student Service Grants program. Even more impressive—this marks the first time a student has ever applied for or received this grant! Their project focuses on helping our local community get better prepared for severe weather. Along the way, they explored practical topics such as building a weather survival kit, predicting weather conditions, and staying connected during emergencies. It’s inspiring to see students take initiative and use their learning to make a real-world impact—rain or shine! ☔️ ☀️

Sometimes it’s the simple things that make the biggest difference.

A consistent routine, a little planning ahead, and staying connected with your child’s school can help set the tone for a strong day of learning.

We are so excited to celebrate the amazing response to our Spring Ahead with a Good Book event!

A huge thank you to the Education Foundation of Martin County for supporting our students through the Book Vending Machine. It was wonderful to see so many students participate by sharing thoughtful reasons about why they wanted a book to read over spring break. Their enthusiasm for reading and excitement about choosing a new book made this event truly special. Thank you for helping us inspire a love of reading and giving our students the opportunity to spring into a great book!

Last week these 8th Grade students completed an incredible 670 IXL skills, and they celebrated their hard work with a fun “Circles” scavenger hunt—calculating the radius, diameter, circumference, and area of their pizza. Math has never been so delicious! 😄 Mrs Rasmussen is so proud of these kiddos and the effort they put in every day. A big thank you to Mrs. Raines for helping make a well-earned pizza reward possible for my Geometry class! 🍕📐
