“A grateful heart is one that finds the countless blessings of God in the seemingly mundane.”

Grateful Gatherings 🍁
November brought a month of learning, laughter, and connection! 8th grade students kicked off with Freshman Focus while several families shared special moments at the Mother/Son event. Fall Gatherings from our 10th and 11th graders, while the Innovation Expo inspired curiosity and exploration. With Thanksgiving Break, we celebrate the joy of being thankful for this season.
FRESHMAN FOCUS
Our 8th graders had the opportunity to explore the year ahead and future possibilities while planning for their future.
K – 2ND GRADE
November brought a cozy shift on campus as our young learners embraced the season with curiosity and joy!
Kindergarteners played Thanksgiving Bingo with our 7th-grade helper, had sight word reflection in Science, learned adding with cubes, and used fly swatters to learn their letters!
1st grader T/Th Class learned about shadows and how to tie their shoes with buddies! They also had their very own Macy’s Parade!
Our 1st and 2nd M/W Class made pretend pies and graphed the ingredients to practice bar graphs! They also had their spiderweb STEM project. The students had balloons over Broadway Balloon Parade and made posters to show our gratitude for Mr. Tiffani, Mrs. Cori, Mrs. Kayla, and Dr. Shipman.
Our 2nd-grade Tuesday/Thursday class had created Thanksgiving art, a PJ day, and an egg drop challenge! They learned to work together in math groups.

From hands-on projects to meaningful moments with classmates, it was a month filled with growth, creativity, and connection for our upper elementary students.
Both our M/W and T/Th classes of 3rd graders enjoyed many projects with their classmates, practiced their writing skills, and had time in the StoryLab!
Our 4th graders, including some 5th graders, enjoyed the egg drop challenge, practiced IEW writing from picture essays, played math games, and more!
5th graders dove into a lively math trashketball review, practiced spelling, and teamed up with 6th grade buddies for Domino Decimals. In Social Studies they created decorative glass “windows” and planned their own schedule democratically, along with other engaging activities throughout November.
MOTHER & SON NIGHT 👩🏻 👦🏻
Mother & Son Night was a joyful evening filled with connection, laughter, and unforgettable memories. We had a great turnout!

Not only did our 7th graders enjoy Greek food as well, but they also learned how to use songs to memorize Bible verses! Take a look at the video below to see how our 7th grade boys created their own unique style.
Our 8th graders used skits as a way of learning!
