Students in Mrs. Whitt’s Business classes took a hands-on Tower Challenge that put their teamwork and problem-solving skills to the test! Working in teams, students were given limited supplies and challenged to build a free-standing structure that could successfully support an object. Along the way, they were given an unexpected twist that required them to adjust their plans and think quickly. Students practiced teamwork, communication, creativity, problem-solving, leadership, and decision-making throughout the challenge. The activity showed students how businesses must work with limited resources, make a plan, work together, and adapt when unexpected changes happen. Just like in the business world, sometimes the original plan has to change in order to be successful!

Learning important lessons through real-world experiences! 🚗💡

Our middle and high school students recently participated in UNITE’s Drug Prevention on the Move program. Through this hands-on experience, students explored how impaired driving can impact coordination, reaction time, judgment, and decision-making.

We’re grateful to UNITE for providing our students with this meaningful opportunity to learn, engage, and better understand the importance of making safe choices. ❤️

Thank you, UNITE, for helping make learning come to life!

Great minds—and great style—think alike! 💜 Addy and Miss Lindsey showed up twinning, so of course we had to capture the moment! 📸😊

Digital Literacy Students in Mrs. Whitt’s Digital Literacy classes took learning off the screen with a hands-on Marble Maze Challenge! Students designed and built a marble maze to represent how information moves through a computer. As the marble traveled through the maze, students connected each part of its journey to the four main steps of a computer system: input, processing, storage, and output. Students had to plan their maze, build and test their design, solve problems, and make changes when something didn’t work. The activity helped students better understand how a computer receives information, processes it, stores it, and produces an output. This hands-on challenge combined technology, creativity, teamwork, and problem-solving while bringing Digital Literacy concepts to life!

Water's unique chemical makeup is the foundation for all living things. Cells are mostly made of water and chemical reactions inside living things need water to happen. So, on Friday, high school biology students learned about all the properties of water!
