Here's a few scenes from the library! Last week our Kindergarteners enjoyed their first book checkout of the year and our 2nd graders investigated a crime scene of damaged books to learn about proper book care! 📚
Third graders in Miss Lancaster’s class used Play-Doh and LEGO blocks to model and skip count objects in equal groups to find how many there are. Students built groups such as 3 groups of 6 and connected their models to the equation 3 × 6 = 18.
This hands-on activity helped students see what multiplication actually looks like and builds understanding of multiplication beyond simply memorizing facts!
Second Grade is studying the life cycle of insects. We came back to a surprise from the weekend and we were able to release several Monarchs.
The high school art room is in full swing! This past week Oil painting students were experimenting with various painting techniques, Ceramics 1 learned about double pinch pots and Drawing and painting was focusing on contour drawings.
A huge thank you to First Heritage FCU for supporting our home opener, which was a hornet victory! It was really well received! We are fortunate to have the caring partners we do to invest in our school community!
Go Hornets!

What a fun day in Mr. Buonaiuto's class — students were hard at work programming, designing, and editing their own video games!

🗺️✨ Mapping Out Their Imaginations! ✨🗺️
Our students are getting creative in art class as they design their very own Fantasy Maps! 🌎
Today, students used a scoop of rice to arrange and shape unique landforms on their paper. Once they were happy with their designs, they carefully traced around the rice with a fine-tip Sharpie to permanently create their land formations. 🏔️🏝️🌊
From mountains and valleys to islands and coastlines, every map is as unique as the imagination behind it! 🎨🗺️
We love seeing our students combine creativity, planning, and artistic skills to bring their fantasy worlds to life!

The robotics program meets outside of the regular school day and runs from September through December or January (or even longer depending on how successful our team is!).

📐 Math in Action! 📊
Our 8th grade mathematicians were putting their skills to work through cooperative learning and hands-on problem solving! Students worked together at whiteboards to graph advanced reflections, sharing strategies, checking one another’s thinking, and making adjustments along the way.
There’s something powerful about learning with others—students can ask questions, explain their reasoning, see different approaches, and learn from the ideas happening around them. 🧠🤝
It was great to see our Hornets thinking, collaborating, communicating, and growing as mathematicians!

Our annual Meet the Hornets and Letterman Jacket award ceremony was incredible! Many student-athletes received their letterman jacket, we met all the fall sports teams, Piper Hoprich was recognized as a TWO TIME state champion, and the band sounded incredible! A nice job by all.
It’s a great day to be a hornet! 🐝
