Our 1st graders put on an absolutely puffin-tastic performance of Penelope the Pink-Nosed Puffin!

From their singing to their confidence on stage, these young performers did an incredible job bringing the story to life. We are so proud of their hard work, teamwork, and bravery in front of an audience!

Way to go, 1st grade—you were amazing!

This week Mrs. Bowden’s Astronomy class took learning beyond the classroom with a visit to the ONU Observatory. Students had the incredible opportunity to learn from Dr. Jason Pinkney, who shared his expertise on the Sun.

From sunspots and solar flares to prominences, students gained a deeper understanding of our closest star—and even got to safely observe it through specially equipped telescopes!

Hands-on experiences like this bring science to life and spark curiosity in amazing ways.

Students in Mr. Crawford’s Advanced Manufacturing & Engineering class are gaining valuable real-world skills by learning how to run electrical systems. As part of a recent lab, students are working through the process of wiring outlets, switches, and panels—building both their knowledge and confidence along the way.

Experiences like these give our students a strong foundation for future careers in the trades and engineering fields. Great work by our students and Mr. Crawford for bringing learning to life!

Aubrey chose Mrs. Andre, and Daphnie selected Mr. Deitering to take the pie—thank you both for being such great sports! We’re so proud of all the students who participated and rose to the challenge. Way to go, Aubrey and Daphnie, for going above and beyond!

Wellness Day Recap! Today, our Middle School and High School students and staff took part in a special Wellness Day to focus, reset, and celebrate the end of the 3rd quarter!

Taking an intentional pause to have fun, refocus, and de-stress does so much more than recharge our students—it helps everyone push through and finish the year strong. These moments allow everyone to connect on a more personal, non-academic level, strengthening the relationships that make our school community so special.

Some of the rotations were: Pep Rallies, Movies, Tai Chi, Board Games, Singo, Mario Cart, Just Dance, Arts, Reading, Nature Walk, Cornhole, Zen Den and more!

Check out some highlights from today’s activities—we’re proud of the positive energy, smiles, and connections made throughout the day!
