Basketball is coming!! Be game day ready and sport your school colors at the Pep Rally!

📚✨ Our Director of Programs, Rachal Hyatt, kicked off a new novel study with our 5th and 6th graders this morning — Wonder by R.J. Palacio! Students are diving into literary strategies, vocabulary, and character development while exploring this heartwarming story about acceptance, kindness, and loving one another. 💙👏 Being a former classroom teacher, Mrs. Hyatt was thrilled to revisit one of her favorite parts of teaching—sharing great books and meaningful discussions with students! 📖💫

🎲🧩 Got old board games or puzzles collecting dust? Our middle schoolers would love to give them a new home! Students enjoy playing games together during lunch in our new café, and we’d love to grow our collection. If you have gently used games or puzzles looking for some fun, please drop them off at the front office. Let’s keep the fun (and brains!) going during lunchtime! 💛♟️

☀️ Fresh Air & Good Vibes! 🍽️ Our middle school students are loving the beautiful new cafeteria deck — the perfect spot to enjoy lunch, fresh air, and great company. What a wonderful addition to campus!!!

Today, Natural Resources students visited our FFA bee hives! 🐝 Students explored the hives up close—spotting eggs, larva, worker bees, and even the queen! To top it off, they got to enjoy a sweet taste of the honey our busy bees have been making 🍯✨

🫀 CPR Certified! 👏 Our high school students are gaining their CPR certification with Nurse Kevin — an essential life-saving skill and a graduation requirement. We’re proud of these students for taking this important step toward being prepared to help in an emergency. 💪❤️

Our 8th grade middle school students are diving into an ongoing lesson calculating distance, time, and speed—then graphing their results. Nothing like hands-on learning (and a few toy cars 🏎️) to make science come alive!

🏆 Hustlin’ Highlanders of the Week 🏆

This week we’re celebrating TWO outstanding students for their impact on our chess program — William and Sonny! ♟️

Mr. Wells shared, “Even before they were old enough to be eligible for the high school team, William and Sonny have elevated our chess program in words and deeds, challenging each other to do more and become more. We are blessed with extraordinary characters in our chess club, and these are two of the best.”

👏 Congratulations, William and Sonny, for your leadership, dedication, and hard work!
