🚨🧠 Learning to Save Lives! 👐💓
Last week, our 8th-grade science students stepped into the role of real-life heroes as they learned and practiced life-saving techniques, including the Heimlich maneuver and CPR.
These important skills could one day help them make a critical difference in an emergency. We’re so proud of their focus, maturity, and eagerness to learn how to help others!

Mrs. Lorenz's Art 2 students had a full and enriching day exploring the Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art! From viewing incredible works of art to engaging with interactive exhibits, the trip offered inspiration, learning, and plenty of creative spark.

🧠 Our 6th-grade PLTW Medical Detectives are diving deep into the nervous system!
This week, students explored how the nervous system functions and took a closer look at neurons—the building blocks of the brain. After learning about the different parts of a neuron and how they work together to send messages throughout the body, students put their creativity to the test!
Using a variety of classroom supplies, they built 3D models of neurons and labeled each part to reinforce their understanding. We love seeing hands-on learning in action and watching our future scientists shine! 💡👩🔬👨🔬
