Ms. Buonopane's AICE General Paper students sharpened their discursive writing skills by analyzing a high-scoring released exam paragraph and breaking down what makes an effective body paragraph. Through guided modeling, collaborative annotation, and structured discussion, students identified transitions, context, concrete evidence, and how to connect evidence back to the prompt clearly. Students then applied these skills directly to their own writing using previously developed prompts as they continue preparing for success on the AICE exam. #PanthersRISE







In Ms. Koehler’s AICE English Language class, students deepened their understanding of tone, register, and audience by analyzing a formal crime report and discussing how language shapes meaning and credibility. Through independent annotation, collaborative discussion, and whole-group analysis, students explored how objectivity impacts reliability. They then applied their learning by working with partners to transform a contrasting text into a formal crime report, making intentional choices about diction, sentence structure, and tone. #PanthersRISE






RISE Scholar Spotlight - Responsibility

This past Monday night was such a special evening at a combined 4-H meeting hosted at Ms. Cannarella’s barn! Students from across the clubs came together to decorate cookies, build new friendships, and enjoy a cozy campfire under the stars. The laughter, creativity, and Panther spirit made it a night to remember. #PanthersRISE





Ms. Michaels’ students bridged the gap between American Literature and Applied Mathematics as they transformed Mark Twain’s The Notorious Jumping Frog of Calaveras County into a real-world Sports Statistics Lab! Instead of simply reading the tall tale, students became analysts—auditing the main character’s bold claims through data. Using the frog’s jump “history,” they calculated mean, median, and mode, modeled fatigue with linear equations, and even converted units to see if the famous “4-foot jump” truly held up to statistical scrutiny. #PanthersRISE

IB Digital Society students recently practiced storyboarding by outlining a tutorial video for a review lesson. This activity focused on strengthening the planning, creation, and editing skills they will need for the video component of their IB Internal Assessment. Through this hands-on preparation, students are building both technical proficiency and confidence as they move closer to completing this major IB requirement. #PanthersRISE

Their hard work and creativity earned them an outstanding 2nd-place finish!

In Ms. Yancey’s World History class, Ms. Brown led students in the hands-on production of stuffed grape leaves as part of their study of Mediterranean regions, including the Fertile Crescent in Mesopotamia and Egypt. Students explored culture, geography, and history through food. At first, they treated the grape leaves like green eggs and ham, convinced they wouldn’t like them, but after the first bite, everyone was cheering, and many went back for seconds and thirds. #PanthersRISE



Our Panther band students have been busy shining on some incredible stages this past weekend!

Two of Ms. Weaver’s students showed what it truly means to be stewards of their classroom by stepping up to help keep it clean and in working order. When the paper towel dispenser needed refilling, and the teachers couldn’t quite figure it out, these students took initiative, problem-solved, and successfully got it working again! Their pride in their classroom and willingness to help others are excellent examples of responsibility and Panther Pride in action. #PanthersRISE
Our IB Senior History students brought their Move to Global War unit to life through a hands-on “Domino Effect” Play-Doh activity to conclude their Paper 1 review. Working in collaborative groups, students created a chain of interconnected Play-Doh sculptures representing key events such as the Rhineland, Anschluss, Sudetenland, and the invasion of Poland. Each sculpture symbolized a historical decision or reaction. When the first piece was knocked over, students watched the entire chain reaction unfold, visually demonstrating how aggression and appeasement led to World War II. Students then analyzed which event served as the tipping point. They debated how different international responses may have altered history, reinforcing key TOK concepts of historical evidence, interpretation, and cause-and-effect. A powerful example of creative, critical IB learning in action! #PanthersRISE
