Our 6th-grade students have been exploring the rich history and culture of ancient Greece and Sparta, and they have truly embraced the opportunity to learn about these fascinating civilizations! 📜 As part of their studies, our students have been tasked with creating models that represent key elements of Greek and Spartan culture, including their mythology, architecture, and traditions! Our students have poured their creativity, curiosity, and critical thinking skills into these impressive projects. We are excited to showcase their hard work and dedication as they present their models to the class!🔥 #WeAreSteelCityStrong

Mr. Ford leads the way as the kindergarten class steps out into the sun for a fun-filled physical fitness session. As they bask in the warmth of the sun ☀️, the children learn valuable skills such as jumping rope, playing football, and even creating their own version of soccer. The excitement is visible as the students run, jump, and move their bodies with energy and enthusiasm, all while learning the importance of staying active and healthy. This outdoor experience provides a perfect opportunity to end the week on a high note and enter the weekend feeling refreshed and inspired by the joy of physical activity and the beauty of the great outdoors. #JOY #TEAM ☀️🌻🕶️😎

Freshmen put their engineering skills to the test with a toothpick tower competition during Freshman Focus class! Working in teams, they are able to use their creativity and problem-solving abilities to build the tallest tower possible using toothpicks. It's a fun and engaging way to work on team-building and collaboration. Not only will students get to show off their design and skills, but they'll also learn how to communicate effectively, delegate tasks, and work together to achieve a common goal. May the best team win! 🏆🎉👨👩👧👦 #Team #FreshmanFocusFun

There's something magical about losing yourself in a great book. The way it transports you to another world, introduces you to new characters and challenges your perspective. And for these students, that's exactly what they're doing as part of their enrichment class. Through their book club, they're not just reading for pleasure, but for personal growth and development. They're expanding their horizons, gaining empathy for others, and learning to think critically about the world around them. And best of all, they're doing it together. #TEAM 👏📚🪱
