Thank you to the reenactors from the Rochester Sons of the American Revolution (SAR) Chapter who took time to visit our 7th grade social studies classes! Students learned about what life was like during the Revolutionary War, how to discover if their relatives had any ties to the war, and got to see artifacts first hand and learn about their purposes.

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.
'Tis the season! ❄️ Wonderful performances by middle school band and choir students at their holiday concert! 🎶

We thank him for his generosity!
