Sixth-graders recently went on an overnight field trip to the Museum of Nature and Science. They experienced a heart lab with lamb hearts, a Titan art station, a planetarium learning station, and IMAX on blue whales. They also focused on communication as a team. I can’t thank all the people enough who helped make this field trip possible for these students.
Dear Students, Parents, and Guardians,
We are delighted to extend a warm invitation to our upcoming event: "Middle School Poetry Night/ Band Concert." This enchanting evening promises to celebrate creativity, expression, and the beauty of language.
Date: May 2nd
Time: 6 pm
Location: Cotopaxi Gym
Our young poets have been diligently crafting verses that resonate with emotion, imagination, and depth. They have poured their hearts into their work, and now they eagerly await the opportunity to share their creations with you.
This event is not only a showcase of talent but also a testament to the power of storytelling and the magic of words. Each poem is a window into the unique perspectives and experiences of our students, offering insights that inspire, provoke thought, and foster empathy.
We encourage all parents, guardians, friends, and fellow students to join us for an evening filled with enchanting performances, heartfelt words, and the joy of artistic expression. Let us come together to support and celebrate our budding poets as they take center stage and shine like the sparkling stars they are.
Warm regards,
Ms. Kristine Reed
Language Arts 6th-8th/Middle School Class Sponsor

This week, third graders spent time brushing up for CMAS! The class worked in small groups to "think" their way through three different practice assessments and answer questions about both fiction and non-fiction texts. They also worked together to analyze and respond to several practice writing prompts. They worked hard to sharpen skills they will need to succeed on the upcoming end-of-year state and district assessments. State testing begins next Tuesday April 9th for Elementary students, and the following week for April 15th for Secondary students. Go Pirates!
