Student Council's Annual Veterans' Dinner

A note from Mrs. Miller, Student Council Advisor

The Student Council members showed commitment and enthusiasm in planning and executing the Veterans Dinner, impressing the veterans with their efforts. The event brought the school community together to express gratitude to the servicemen and women, fostering unity and appreciation. I commend the Student Council for embodying a spirit of service and civic responsibility, and I'm proud of their leadership and teamwork skills, shaping our school's culture.

7th Grade Science - National Park Letters!

Students in 7th grade Science have been studying about changes that can occur to Earth's surface. To wrap up their unit, students selected and researched national parks and wrote letters to park rangers to share what they had learned and questions they had pertaining to weathering, erosion, deposition, and geological formations found in their park. Our students have been enjoying getting letters back from their parks!
