K3 Classroom Spotlight – Ms. McAfee

The K3 class had an exciting and educational visit from Ms. Kim’s Amazing Pets! The children were thrilled to meet and learn about a variety of animals up close. Ms. Kim taught us interesting facts about each animal and how to care for them. We loved seeing and gently petting some of the animals such as the soft chinchilla, the slow-moving turtles, different sized snakes and lizards. It was such a fun, hands-on experience that helped us learn more about animals, their habitats, and how to show love and kindness towards all creatures.5

Arrival/Dismissal Reminder

Make every effort to have your child arrive to school with enough time to be in their class prior to the 8:00AM bell, and please avoid picking up your child prior to the end of the school day.

Grade 8 Classroom Spotlight – Mr. Brown

In 8th Grade, we’ve been busy learning and exploring! In Religion class, we’ve been diving into what a worldview is, while in Science we’re discovering how friction works. In Math, we’ve been working with variables and learning how they help us solve problems. Last Wednesday, our Middle School took a fun trip to Discovery World, where we got to explore and learn hands-on. Earlier this year, we also had a Salsa-Making Competition—and congratulations to Jaleiah, Madisyn, Audrianna, Brooklyn D., and Samarriah for creating the winning salsa!
