In our K-8 Spanish class, we celebrated Día de Muertos by building a vibrant altar with personalized ofrendas—flowers, candles, photos, and more—to honor loved ones. Students explored the history, crafted unique elements, learned about inspiring Hispanic figures, and even tasted traditional pan de muerto! This hands-on project deepened our understanding and appreciation of this beautiful cultural tradition. 💀✨

How many rubber bands are needed for Marvel superheroes to have a safe, yet thrilling bungee jump? 🦸♂️🎢 AP Stats students tested it out! Using scatterplots, regression lines, and lots of math, they predicted just the right rubber band count for the perfect jump—Captain America’s was the safest and most thrilling! 💥👀

Early Childhood and Kindergarten students had a special visit from the Chinhae Fire & Emergency Services team and their friend, Sparky the Fire Dog. 🚒👩🚒 Students learned that when the fire alarm says, ”beep, beep, beep“ ⛑️🚨 it warns us that there could be a fire. Then we should stop what we are doing, and find the nearest exit to the outside meeting place. We appreciate the Chinhae team coming to share information and providing a gift bag for students. Our young Sharks were Active communicators by listening and sharing their understanding. 🦈💙
