Emily Stephens, a 6th-grade student at CMS, is applying the skills and knowledge she has learned through the 7 Mindsets program to implement a service project. Recently, students learned the Live to Give Mindset. Through the Live to Give Mindset, students learned that abundance in one’s life is a cycle, and to get love, respect, and financial security; we must learn to give those things. This Mindset also taught students that the greatest gift we can ever give is finding and leveraging our unique genius to maximize our positive impact on the world, knowing that good things will be returned to us in kind. Emily is leading by example by speaking with students about our ability to show support for children in Ukraine. Students are making bracelets in Mrs. Myers' class that will be sent to the citizens of Ukraine to offer support on behalf of the United States and Claxton Middle School.

Spring is here, and it's time for some new outdoor furniture! Mr. Hall's classes are using a blueprint to create wooden benches. Some of the measurements and markings proved a little tricky, but these students worked together to figure them out.

Did you know that the demand for Computer Science careers is anticipated to grow 22% by 2030? Did you know that only 22% of Computer Scientists are women? Members of the Girls Who Code organization on Georgia Tech campus visited Claxton Middle School to educate a group of 40 girls about computer science and STEM. Students learned how STEM shapes society, and how certain disciplines differ and specialize in their contributions to society. The GT Girl Who Code members provided an introductory presentation on Python and did a hands-on activity with CMS students. For more information about the presentation, click here https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/11QUT8BgJKAp395BalRB7RMJZ0SKkhCawdLM_LGuMfLQ
