Middle School

Mr. Wiley's 6th grade Earth Science class wrapped up their volcano unit with impressive hands-on projects. Students researched iconic volcanoes like Mount Etna, Mount Sakurajima, and Mount Damavand, creating detailed models to demonstrate their formation and eruption processes. They also delivered engaging presentations, exploring topics such as tectonic plate movement, eruption patterns, and the environmental impact of volcanic activity. Their work showcased both their scientific knowledge and creativity!

Our 5th graders had a blast during the 6th Grade Fine Arts Preview, where they enjoyed a musical sneak peek of Band, Chorus, and Orchestra classes! The talented Middle School musicians put on an outstanding performance, showcasing the incredible opportunities available in these music electives. This exciting experience gave our soon-to-be 6th graders a chance to explore their options and get a firsthand look at what they'll be able to dive into next year.

Andre Bradford, an award-winning spoken word artist and author, visited our campus to teach our students about the power of storytelling and poetry. His presentation, Kintsukuroi: Building with Purposeful Empathy, featured a series of spoken word poetry, which captivated the audience as it emphasized the importance of appreciating diverse backgrounds, mental health awareness, and fostered empathy in building meaningful relationships and communities. Following his performance, Mr. Bradford led a Q&A discussion, deepening the conversation around these vital topics. His visit left a lasting impact, reminding us of the transformative power of words in shaping a better world.

After weeks of research, scripting, designing, and rehearsing, our 8th graders brought history to life for their annual Decades Day living museum. From roaring ‘20s to groovy ‘70s, each classroom transformed into a different era for an immersive trip through time. Friends and family lined the halls to see each each advisory perform their own interpretation of their assigned decade. The featured topics included the classic movie “The Wizard of Oz” in the 1930s, Elvis Presley’s rise to fame in the 1950s, and the release of the first Apple computer in the 1970s.
