It's dance time! Student Council is hosting a winter dance on December 10th. Save the date!
We are future focused! All 8th grade students got to attend a tour of RTI/RTC today to see the career pathways they could study in high school or after graduation.
Middle School Agriculture class is been busy lately! Look at all of the amazing opportunities they've had the last few weeks:
--Members of the HS Ag department visited with MS Ag classes to talk about what to expect when they come to the high school and what opportunities are available to them.
--MS Ag students successfully hatched baby chicks in the classroom and have learned about the incubation process and proper care of baby chicks. They got to go outside for the first time this week!
--MS Ag students took their plant unit to the next level with creating a marketing plan for their vegetable. They created a brand, logo, product label, and pitch to present to their target audience.
THIS is real-world learning in action!

Eighth grade science students are working on being able to define the relationship between mass, speed, and energy. They spent the day working collaborative to test weights and gather data so they could plot trends and explain those relationships. How fun is this? When we create opportunities for students to think critically, we put them on the road to deep and transfer learning that will last a lifetime.
On Thursday, we were pleased to recognize three students who were nominated by their teachers for the Fort Leonardwood Army Value award for respect - demonstrating equal self-respect and respect for others, creating increased morale and positive outcomes for those around them. Nominees were Cason Smith and Alice Pearson, and the award was presented to Justise Jercick.
We are so proud of these students!

Making Connections! Mrs. Hicks' 6th grade students worked on a get-to-know-you activity the first few weeks of school. Last week, they took those pieces and connect the entire grade together by interests! What a great way to show that, while we are all different, we still share interests and goals in life that we can work on together!
That's a winner! The Middle School Tiger Football team defeats Hermann in double overtime 28-22!
This week in Careers class, students are working on learning the job skills needed in our world today.
