Lizards, Learning, and Fun!
Ms. Jones's class had an amazing time exploring the world of lizards! Students researched, presented, and even played a fun game to deepen their knowledge. A huge shoutout to Ms. Phillips for bringing learning to life with 3D-printed lizards for the entire class!
Hands-on learning at its best!

With big smiles and plenty of enthusiasm, they led groups through hallways, pointed out important spots, and shared tips to make middle school a breeze. From classrooms to the cafeteria, they made sure our newest students felt right at home. It was a day full of warm welcomes, helpful advice, and a sneak peek at the exciting journey ahead!
