(8/7): Missing Puzzle Piece? No Problem! Call the Gifted Girls
Have you ever finished a puzzle only to find the very last piece is missing? These gifted students just solved that problem!!
Instead of throwing the broken game away, these creative students used their critical thinking and spatial skills to design and manufacture perfect replacements.
How They Did It:
Measured the empty gap precisely.
Sketched the exact missing shapes.
Matched the colors and textures.
Created a seamless replacement piece.

(8/7): Who says homeroom has to be boring? Our science homeroom students are putting their brains to work with STEM kits, educational games, and puzzles—because a little problem-solving (and friendly competition!) is a great way to start the day!

(8/7): Mrs. Whitworth's 6th grade science classes kicked off the year by tossing around more than just a ball—we tossed around names, laughs, and a few questionable catches! Our “Pass the Ball” name game had teachers and students learning names and breaking the ice one pass at a time.

(8/7): Ms. Swain’s classes kicked things off with some fun team-building games! One favorite was the Helium Stick Challenge. The goal sounded simple: work together to lower the stick to the ground. Easy, right? Not quite!  No matter how hard they tried to make it go down, that silly stick had other plans and kept floating up! Teamwork, laughter, and a little bit of confusion made this challenge one to remember!
