Geometry Comes to Life! 🏰🐉
Students in Mrs. Selph's, Mrs. Cook's, and Mrs. Francis's Geometry classes recently wrapped up an exciting hands-on project that combined math, storytelling, and design!
Using their knowledge of volume, surface area, and dilations, students created custom 3D castles and critters from self-designed nets. Each model was paired with a unique narrative story, bringing their mathematical creations to life through creativity and imagination. This project truly shows that math is all around us! 📐✨

Deep Dive into WWII History! 🧠
Coach Lanier's class has been examining the complex history of Japan, tracing its path from a traditional state to an empire and finally to a democracy. Students covered Japan's reasoning for bombing Pearl Harbor and the intense battles in the Pacific Theater. 🚢
Aftere a lesson focused on the United States' decision to use the atomic bomb, students then engaged in a thoughtful and rigorous debate on whether the use of the bomb was historically justified. This is critical thinking in action! 💡

Confidence is Cooking! 🧑🍳
What a heartwarming "Friendsgiving" in Ms. Johnson, Ms. Keta, and Ms. Katie's class! Paired with CHS peer mentors, the students excelled in a collaborative cooking activity.
By taking on specific tasks and supporting one another, the students boosted their confidence in daily living tasks and strengthened their social interaction skills. Nothing beats the feeling of accomplishment—especially when it leads to a shared meal and great conversation about gratitude!

📊✨ Ms. Swift’s Class is Exploring Statistics! ✨📊
This week, Ms. Swift’s students have been learning all about statistical data. Each student chose their own topic — anything they were curious about — and collected information to analyze.
Using their data, they created:
➡️ Pictographs
➡️ Bar graphs
Students learned how to organize information, represent it visually, and explain what their graphs show. It’s been so exciting to see them take ownership of their learning and explore topics they care about!
So proud of their creativity and hard work! 🌟📚

Today was a beautiful beginning!
Our ninth graders met their mentors for the very first time—and the room was filled with smiles, handshakes, warm conversations, and the kind of encouragement every student deserves. This is what happens when a community shows up: students feel seen, supported, and ready to take on the future.
We are incredibly grateful for our first ever career coaches!

Exploring the 4 Dimensions of Health
Miss Wetherington’s 8th grade Health classes spent time researching the four dimensions of health—mental, physical, emotional, and social—and connecting each one to real-life examples from both school and home. 🧠💪💬🤝
We love seeing students make meaningful connections that help them better understand their overall well-being!
