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

Mr. Rodland's MS social studies classes have been learning about Ancient Egypt. To test their knowledge, students took part in a mummification demonstration where they acted out the process step-by-step on their test mummy. Luckily, we have our very own resident pharaoh (aka Mr. Rodland) to enthusiastically teach on the topic!

Middle School students recently gathered for an assembly where they were introduced to Leader in Me, a districtwide initiative that focuses on 7 habits to help students work on personal development, goal setting, and interdependence to help achieve their highest potential. Students helped lead the assembly and shared what to expect and how to get more involved. We are excited to utilize this program to continue to foster a culture of school-wide leadership in our buildings!
