Middle School Students Learn about Temperaments
In Life Skills & Discipleship last week, students in sixth and seventh grade learned about personality and temperaments when guest speaker Rachel Petty spoke to their classes about the curriculum, “I Said This, You Heard That: How Your Wiring Colors Your Communication” by Kathleen Edelman. It’s also a great communication tool for families.
6th & 7th Graders Study Central Nervous System
The sixth and seventh graders have been busy learning about their bodies this week in science. They’ve covered the brain and how the central nervous system impacts reaction time.

Ms. Robertson’s fourth graders worked hard to memorize portions of Scripture and recited original poems for special projects in the StoryLab last week. They also shared illustrations and explained the meaning behind the verses and poetry. Well done, class!
Final Club Day of the Year: Puppies, Pokemon, Archaeology, Jets, Pancakes & Tag
Students’ creativity in leading clubs that interest them always amazes us! This final Club Day of the year was no different; we had students leading clubs about puppies, an entire club devoted to Pokemon and archaeology, a club where students learned a variety of ways to play tag, a jet club and a pancake club (yum!). Thank you to all the students who raised their hand for leadership, and thank you to all the parents who helped them prepare.

VEX Robotics Class Inspires Students for Future Learning
The third- to fifth-grade elective VEX Robotics class continues to inspire students to envision their futures in fields such as engineering, IT, construction, architecture, and AI-enabled studies.
