Students in Mrs. Minter’s math class are making comic strips from a word problem!
So excited to see all of our Generals turn out for the kickoff of the fall sports season!
Sixth grade math teachers trying out “seating challenges” for the first 5 days of school. Awesome to see which students take charge and emerge as leaders!
Mr. Krupp officiates a great floor hockey game filled with teamwork, effort and sportsmanship. Students ensured equitable playing time and respected one another!
Max is using the @LEGOMindstormsN to create a robot that can solve a Rubiks Cube!
