We always love to warm up with Hot Cross Buns—and the students learned that long ago, they only cost a penny or two!
Today was extra special because Natalie McNair brought in real hot cross buns from her mom’s bakery, Nonna’s Bakery, for us to try. What a fun (and delicious!) way to connect music history to real life!
Thank you for sharing with us—our class loved it! ❤️

Students discovered that the cycle has no true beginning or end—it’s always moving! They also learned how the sun provides the energy that powers the entire cycle, while water is constantly changing forms all around us.
Learning in action and making connections every day! 👏

Mrs. Morgan’s art classes have been hard at work creating some incredible masterpieces!
Our 5th grade students explored movement and expression by designing sculptures inspired by Keith Haring. Haring was known for his bold lines, simple figures, and energetic artwork that often showed people in motion and shared messages about love, unity, and community.
Our 6th grade students tapped into bright colors and everyday inspiration with pop art sculptures influenced by Andy Warhol. Warhol was famous for turning ordinary objects—like soup cans and candy—into colorful works of art, helping people see everyday items in a whole new way.
We are so proud of the imagination and effort our students are showing in the art room. Be sure to ask them about their creations! 🎉👏

Wednesday was round one of our community panel presentations, and I’m so proud of our students! They shared thoughtful, real-world projects focused on making healthier choices and improving our environment right here in our community.

Mrs. Tucker’s literacy students are turning inspiration into action! After reading A Long Walk to Water by Linda Sue Park, they were moved by the real-life challenges children face just to access clean drinking water—and now they’re ready to make a difference.
Join us as we take on the Iron Giraffe Challenge, a program of Water for South Sudan!
🦒 What is the Iron Giraffe Challenge?
The Iron Giraffe Challenge is a nationwide (and even global!) school fundraising competition that raises money to build wells in South Sudan. Schools track their progress using a fun giraffe-themed system—earning recognition as they reach fundraising milestones. Every dollar raised helps provide access to clean, safe water for communities in need, reducing long daily walks for water and improving health, education, and quality of life for children and families.

Students worked in groups to build food chains, with each type of candy representing a different trophic level in the energy pyramid. For example, some candies represented producers (plants), while others represented primary consumers, secondary consumers, and tertiary consumers.
As students built their food chains, they discussed how energy moves from the sun to producers and then to consumers. The marshmallows and candies helped visually demonstrate how energy decreases as it moves up each trophic level.
