🌍💎 Mining for Knowledge in 7th Grade Science! 💎🌍
Dr. P's 7th grade science students are digging into the world of minerals and ores with a sweet hands-on activity! 🍪⛏️
Using "cookie ore," students developed their own mines, carefully safeguarded the environment, and worked to turn a profit by extracting valuable "minerals" (chocolate chips). They had to purchase equipment, map their mine, extract resources, and reclaim the land—all while tracking their business success on a profit and loss sheet.
The best part? After all their hard work, they got to eat the profits! 😋👏





🎉 Happy Senior Night to our Cheerleaders! 📣💙

🐾💛 Scotties have been busy putting the "I" in Kind for Kindness Week! 💛🐾
Our students took part in a school-wide coin war, raising an incredible $1,130.71 for Good Shepherd Humane Society! 🎉
✨ 2nd grade practiced their addition skills by counting all the donations.
✨ 3rd grade will be reading recipes and baking delicious dog biscuits for shelter pups.
✨ 4th grade will be writing their own books and reading to puppies before the end of the school year! 📚🐶
We love seeing our Scotties spread kindness in such creative ways! 💙 #KindnessWeek #ScottiesGiveBack #GoodShepherdHumaneSociety
