PICTURES DISCOVERY - TRASH OBSERVATION This discovery student noticed something while walking on our wonderful walking path. He took notes about the amount of trash along the path. He is asking that together as a school, we can be more helpful when it comes to keeping our walking path free of trash. Will you be willing to help?  DISCOVERY 6TH GRADE TEAM-BUILDING EXERCISE - MARRIN This group is working on coloring and organizing puzzle-piece elements of a large mural. The people featured in their end product are some historical figures who made a positive mark in this world - Nelson Mandela, Amelia Earheart, etc. The students have been tasked with figuring out how to make sure all the fragments of images go together accurately.  The students are learning about the famous people in the mural throughout the art portion of the project.  Link to 12 Pictures.  9-2-2021 USA CORN SHUCKING - CIOFFI Four 8th grade students from Team USA stepped up to help the cafeteria staff get food ready for meals early on Thursday morning.
