Pop, measure, calculate! 🫧📏
Mrs. Real’s 7th graders brought math to life today with everyone’s favorite hands-on lesson: Bubble Day!
Students blew giant bubble prints right on their desks to measure circumference, diameter, and discover the magic ratio of \bm{\pi} in action. Who knew mastering geometry formulas could be this much fun?📸✨

🚨 MIDDLE SCHOOL GUARDIANS — URGENT! 🚨
Today is the day for the Roaring Raptor reward trip! 🦖🎉
Our students worked hard (and enjoyed that bonus week to build up their bank bucks!), but we are still missing several permission slips.
If your student bought the trip, please make sure their permission slip is turned in/signed first thing this morning. We don't want anyone left behind! Thank you for helping us make today awesome for our kids! 🙌

📱You can access the form directly on the Gateway App under "Forms."

Darren Robinson came and did a Pilobolus Dance workshop with Mrs. Clements’ Advanced Dance class today. He is a professional dancer and musical theater performer who has performed on many well-known stages around the world. He shared with us some of the cool things he learned while performing with the Pilobolus Dance company, including weight sharing, lifting, and creating in a collaborative environment. We had so much fun dancing and being creative with Darren!

A huge thank-you to Darren for sharing his passion and artistry with our students 🩰✨
