Winter Dance- Dec 9
We are excited for our Winter Dance, tonight- Friday, December 9th from 7:00pm-9:00pm. The dance is open to all students- 7th and 8th grade. Tickets will not be sold at the door, but if a student forgets their ticket, we have a list of students who purchased tickets. The dance ends promptly at 9:00pm, so please make sure your child is picked up then. We are expecting a very large number of students, which is great, but we strongly encourage you to carpool whenever possible. To ensure student safety, please be sure to follow all traffic directions on campus.

Student Spotlight
Math Mystery
Students in Ms. Stackhouse's 7th Grade Math classes reviewed for an assessment by collaboratively working to solve percent increase and decrease (sales tax, discount) word problems. As they solved mathematical problems, they would reveal clues to eliminate possible suspects and locations from a mystery. Our students really enjoyed this engaging learning activity that also offered an opportunity to practice critical thinking and collaboration skills. #futureready
