🌟 Student Leaders in Action! 🌟
Two of our incredible 8th Grade students, Marymichael Gasser and Leia French, stepped up as leaders to teach their peers an important Leader in Me lesson on organization and how it helps us "Think with the End in Mind." 🎯✨
They did an amazing job guiding the class through the benefits of staying organized, and now they’re taking it a step further! Today and tomorrow, they will lead a Locker & Supplies Organizational Boot Camp to help their classmates put these skills into action. 🗂️🎒
We love seeing our students take initiative and empower each other with valuable life skills! Way to go, girls!💡👏

🎩 HATS off to our 8th Graders!🎩
Today, our 8th grade ELA classes put their argumentative writing skills to the test- HAT style!
To boost motivation and reinforce the key components of a strong introduction, students participated in HAT Day, a fun way to remember the essential parts:
🎩Hook- grab the reader's attention
🎩Acknowledge- address the other side
🎩Thesis- state your clear stance
With their introductions written and their hats on, our students showed creativity, critical thinking, and strong writing skills. Keep up the great work, 8th Graders!!
