Students in all grades this week have visited the library to kick off the Blind Date with a book reading challenge! Students can pick a covered up book "blind date" based on the clues on the bags. Students have to commit to reading their books then "rate their date" as they read during the month of February. This was a smash hit with many students! Spreading the love of reading is so fun. :)
Students in Ms Pearl’s 7th grade math classes completed stations to review for their upcoming assessment. They worked together to complete tasks.

Some band students auditioned for and participated in the All-District Band a few weeks ago! This is a huge honor with only select students invited based on their musical talent. Our students had a wonderful time together and improving their skills with the amazing Ms. Parsons!
6th grade social studies classes with Mrs. Jaggers and Mr. Keehn did an amazing stations activity last week in the library. Students did a "jigsaw" where they became an expert in a topic then taught that topic to a small group of their peers. Our teachers design amazing lessons!
