Eighth-grade student Maylynn Axline shares that she is thankful for Andrea Daniels. Maylynn shares, "From the beginning, she understood the doubts I have inside my brain, and she's always pushing me to do better. I've gone through plenty of musical directors in previous schools, and I knew from the moment I walked into her classroom last year that none would ever compare. She listens to me complain about extra-curriculars, brightens anyone's day with a simple joke, and doesn't make me feel silly for being unable to do something. She does so much to make sure her students have the resources they need to be successful, and that's something I see so many people take for granted."
We are so thankful for you, Mrs. Daniels!

We are so THANKFUL for you, Mrs. Steele!

Ms. Katie Williams notes that Amber recently stopped to pick up an item that an older student had dropped during breakfast. She very carefully balanced her own tray to retrieve this item for someone else. Ms. Williams notes that she is proud of Amber for seeing a need, being brave enough to approach and help the older student, and handling her own materials so expertly all at once. That's a pretty big accomplishment for someone so little!
We are all very proud of this little Musketeer!

PUMP UP (AND TRANSFER) THE ENERGY
Recently, student's in Mr. Fyffe's fourth-grade class have been working to understand the concepts of energy and energy transfer. During these lessons, students worked collaboratively to understand differences in stored energy, examining rubber band sizes and energy changes according to movements of the band on a ride model. The close of the lesson required students to consider how to build this ride in a true-to-life size.
