Congratulations to our 6th-grade students who have successfully completed their certification through the National Coalition of Certification Centers (NC3), earning independent access to the FAB Lab. NC3 is a vital partner in our STEAM curriculum. By integrating industry-standard testing at the middle school level, we allow students to explore high-demand career paths early with hands-on learning. #unitedweSOAR #flyintoexcellence Our comprehensive STEAM programs provide students with real world application and certifications to take with them to high school and beyond!!

You may notice the large rectangles of snow in the front of our school. In years past we have actively participated in snow sculpting in Lake Geneva, however, we have the benefit of using our own snow molds to allow our students to snow sculpt right at school. Watch as our middle school students turn those rectangles into works of art!! #unitedweSOAR #flyintoexcellence

Students will receive Kindness Bingo cards on Monday, and anyone who completes a blackout (all kind acts) can receive a special prize from Mrs. McGuire. A kindness jar will be available in the main office by Mrs. Ziganto where families, staff, and students can leave shout-outs recognizing acts of kindness, which will be shared during daily announcements. Kindness will also be discussed and highlighted in classrooms building-wide throughout the week. To wrap up the celebration, the ice cream sundae cart will be visiting all classrooms (3K–8th grade) on Friday the 17th around 2:30 PM for a sweet treat celebrating kindness! 🍦💛 We can't wait!!!
