A huge thanks to KORT Physical Therapy for visiting our 8th-grade Health classes yesterday! 🩺💪
Students got an inside look at what physical therapists do every day to help patients recover, prevent injuries, and stay active. They explored real equipment and mastered terms like concentric and eccentric muscle movements. 🧠✨

Our 6th graders had a gourd-geous time at Devine’s Corn Maze & Pumpkin Patch! Students put their navigation skills to the test as they made their way through the corn maze, hopped aboard a tractor ride to pick their perfect pumpkins, and enjoyed plenty of time playing, laughing, and making memories with friends!
A little adventure, a lot of laughter, and the perfect fall day! 🧡🎃

October is National Fire Prevention Month, and there's no better way to learn more about fire safety than with a trip to the fire station! 🚒👨🚒

We are grateful to the all of the firefighters and other emergency service workers who help keep us safe in dangerous situations!

Students in Mrs. Harrell's Agriscience class have been hard at work starting their own cucumber, radish, and lettuce seeds in hopes of growing their very own salad! 🥒++🥬=🥗
Each student researched, carefully chose, and planted their veggie varieties. Once the seedlings were big enough, they transplanted them into their mobile veggie garden boxes to care for them and watch them grow!
