6th graders in Mrs. Richardson's homebase are having fun has they work together decorating their class flag! They can't wait to show it off at the upcoming assembly! Go Knights!

The Sixth Grade Social Studies classes recently learned about Hatshepsut, the first female Pharaoh of Egypt. She reigned during the the New Kingdom and by all accounts was very successful. The students performed a Reader’s Theater about Hatshepsut’s rule.

The 6th grade language arts classes have been reading Ghost by Jason Reynolds. We have been working on defining, identifying, and explaining the figurative language Reynolds uses throughout the book.

Please make sure you drop off and pick your child up in the back of the building. We have seen parents who are dropping their child off in the front of the building in the mornings either before or after the busses have come in! Please understand that this cause extra burden on our front office staff to buzz our students in. Please know we purposely staff someone in the back of the building to let students in during morning drop off. I appreciate you help and support with this.
