Kali Young and Ava Morris's focus was the Triangle Tragedy Exhibit. Emery Cannon, Rylee Donaldson, Callie Knoernschild, and Santana Rivas earned a second place finish which qualifies for nationals in Maryland!
I am so proud of all my girls and in a bit of shock!"

Additional pictures of the Jr. High Running Tigers at the Middle School Track and Field State Championship at Southwestern Baptist University in Bolivar Saturday.
Coach Donaldson took 11 Jr. High track and field athletes to the Middle School Track and Field State Championship at Southwestern Baptist University at Bolivar yesterday. It was quite an experience taking part in a track meet with 90 schools competing! Of the 11 athletes 8 performed well enough to make the Class 1 State Championship podium. Regardless of where they finished we're extremely proud of all of them and couldn't have asked for a better close to their season.

MSHSAA State Music Festival
Miley Hayes, State Silver, prepared a trumpet solo. She and Ms.Kristy put in hours of work to prepare for this after Districts in March. Miley’s performance today was phenomenal. This is her 3rd year performing at the State level with a trumpet solo.
Isabel & Callie Knoernschild & Josie Porter, State Silver, prepared a vocal trio. The songs were prefect for their blend of voices and their performance was impeccable. This was their first year attending State as an ensemble and individuals.
Look forward to the next few weeks with all of these musicians as we wind down the year. Congratulations to all of the GR8 musicians and their performances.

From Mrs. Maxon:
"Here, 7th graders took some time to practice blind continual contour line drawing. They had to draw a partner's face without lifting their pencil off the paper or looking at their paper."
From Mrs. Maxon:
"This is a picture of 1st grade, they are learning about weaving for our next project, so we went outside to practice weaving on a large scale."
This 8th grader had a DELICIOUS presentation in Mrs. Fitzwilliam's class--"How to Make Coconut Sorbet!"
Mrs. Z's American Heritage class studied Mary Church Terrell's major address before the National American Woman Suffrage Association in 1898. Students summarized each paragraph in their own words before Mrs. Z gave model examples to write in their notes. Super interesting!!! This woman was ahead of her time!
3rd graders have fallen in love with chapter books this year! Series! Genres! Favorite authors!
