Congratulations to the 2021 winners of the Scholastic Art and Writing Awards.

Celebrate their work by seeing their photographs with special introductions from their art teachers in this blog post. https://hubs.ly/H0Jzp360

We appreciate Math Kangaroo USA's mission of "helping students love math nationwide." Our Wildcats participated in the 2021 competition to flex their math skills and stretch their brains! Special thanks to Dr. Marushina, Ms. Chen, and our staff volunteers for helping make this event a success.

It was time to put their constructed kites to the test! Grade 1 & 2 students spent Engineering class on the terrace and let them fly!

Our grade 8 & 9 families are in for a treat tonight! Mr. Núñez is hosting a presentation event to introduce them to various summer activities, employment opportunities, and internships, decoding what they mean for the college process.

To prepare for the @youbethechemist Challenge, our middle school Chemistry students had a guest speaker who shared her current research on urban sustainability and "green burial" to make current practices more environmentally efficient. They were inspired and are ready to create their chemistry and sustainability videos!

Our teachers and students soaked up every opportunity to enjoy the outdoors this week. Here are a few highlights of science, math, history, and some socializing.
