🚀 STEM in Action! 🏗️
Mr. Pearson and Mr. Petrovich’s 7th Grade STEM students put their engineering skills—and budgeting abilities—to the test with the Spaghetti & Marshmallow Tower Challenge! 💰📏
Armed with a $25 budget, these young innovators had to strategize their spending: $1 per spaghetti noodle and 4 marshmallows for $1—every decision counted! The goal? Build the tallest, most stable tower using their limited materials.
Did their structures stand tall or take a tumble? 🏗️💡 Check out the photos to see their creative designs and impressive teamwork in action!

Next week in our Physical Education classes, our Middle School students will have the opportunity to step into someone else’s shoes as we recognize Disability Awareness Week. Through a series of adapted activities, students will gain insight into the experiences of individuals with physical and sensory disabilities. It is our hope that students will develop a deeper understanding of the strengths, perseverance, and adaptations that individuals with disabilities use every day. Our goal is to foster empathy, inclusivity, and a greater appreciation for diverse abilities.
