Students in High School Makerspace are working together to design and build a prototype of a space needle tower. They must build a moveable and freestanding tower that can hold the weight of a tennis ball for 30 seconds using limited materials, such as index cards, paper clips, straws, pipe cleaners, and 1 meter of tape. Who can build the tallest tower? 🏗️🗼✨

Early Childhood Sharks had a great time on their first walking field trip! They talked about the things they noticed like the trees, and how we can feel wind but not see it. At the playground they had fun climbing, sliding, and exploring the new environment!

This morning, the Early Childhood and Elementary classes came together for their first assembly of the year focused on being a Socially conscious Shark. Students shared their understanding of how to be kind, caring, and empathetic to everyone. As we start the school year, teachers support students to show their Socially conscious side as they build relationships, create positive classroom environments, and develop expectations to meet personal learning goals. Our Sharks are off to a FIN-tastic start! 🦈🌟
