Albion middle students Luci and Sutton have been hard at work on an impressive Revolutionary War research project in partnership with Orleans County. As a result of their research, they've been able to obtain multiple roadside markers, gravestone flag markers and a replace a damaged gravestone. The markers will be installed ahead of a community ceremony in the spring to celebrate the 250th anniversary of the United States and to honor Revolutionary War soldiers buried locally.

Ms. Messmer's 8th grade science classes have been getting creative with their Rube Goldberg projects. Teams were challenged with designing and building their own machine that accomplishes a task that involves at least 5 steps. In doing so, they exercised their problem solving and communication skills while making great connections with their force and motion knowledge.

We are loving the eagle-eye view at the middle school! Kamie Feder's art classes spruced up the school's courtyard with a string art installation for their first project earlier this school year. Students worked together to weave yarn into the chain link fence before mapping out and installing a giant, 36'x24', string art eagle in the mulched area. #PurpleEaglePride
