April is Multilingual Learners Advocacy Month!
To celebrate our many multilingual students, we sent home posters to over 140 students that are multilingual and come from one of at least 30 different language backgrounds. Our theme is “We All Smile in the Same Language!” We are thrilled to have received posters back from so many families! Thank you!
The posters will be displayed in school and serve as an opportunity for each student to share and celebrate their multilingual background with their peers and foster a sense of pride and belonging among our students and community. This special display will remain all month in the Elementary hallway between the office and the MPR. We are also excited to share the Middle School students’ posters which are displayed digitally on the large screens in the MS Commons.
We are thankful for the many families that submitted their family poster to help us celebrate your multilingual family and recognize the many languages that our students are loved in.
7th Grade Science - Newton's First Law
As we head into Spring Break....our young 7th grade scientists put Newton's First Law of Motion in action with our lab on Crash Test Dummies. Students discussed and calculated mass, acceleration, speed, and engineered a safety harness to keep up our passengers from flying over a wall! We even made graphs and worked on simulators to see how forces are applied to move heavy loads.Great results and real life skills on the importance of wearing your seat belts!
