Molly from Osborne stopped by preschool today to teach our kids all about worms - and their smiles say it all! 🪱😊
Hands-on learning is the best kind, and our preschoolers had a blast.

Fourth graders enjoyed a fun tour of the Carter House Museum this morning. They saw different toys through the decades and did a scavenger hunt. Thank you to the amazing volunteers that were our guides!

Big jobs call for big tools. Thanks to Brad at Rapid Innovations for helping us press brake a back plate for a student project. Manufacturing students also learned a couple lessons about prototypes for new products while we were there!



Get ready, Warriors! Our 7th–12th graders will take the stage on December 23 for a lip sync contest, and it’s always one of the most entertaining events! We can’t wait to see the creativity and fun they bring. 🎤✨

A few lucky students and staff had the chance to head to Camp Courageous for their Holiday Party last week. They enjoyed lots of dancing, games and together time! We’re grateful for opportunities like this that bring joy and connection to our students during the holidays! ✨
