Last week, our 4th grade scientists put their engineering skills to the test in the Egg Drop Investigation! Students designed, built, tested, and improved their creations while learning about the Engineering Design Process. It was exciting to see their creative solutions and teamwork in action—and even more exciting to see which eggs survived the drop! Part 2

Congratulations to the first student to read ALL 15 Sunshine State books for 3rd through 6th graders!

We look forward to seeing the Reading Rockstar Wall of Fame in the media center fill up with pictures of our amazing readers!

In the media center, Mrs. Walker has been discussing library expectations and procedures with students. Students have also been learning about proper book care, shelf etiquette, and where to find just right books.

Once book checkouts begins, students will receive a plastic bag to be used to transport books from/to the media center. Parents, please do not throw these bags away as they are expected to use this bag throughout the year for book checkouts.

Our important Charleston Wrap fundraiser is coming soon!
Be on the lookout for all the details coming your way so you can help us reach our goal.
We need your support, and you’ll love what’s coming!
