Some of Mrs. Lairmore's 8th graders discovered the Pythagorean Theorem using Cheez-Its and Starbursts. They then applied what they learned by measuring boxes and calculating the length of the diagonal.

Recently, we had the pleasure of welcoming Representative Burt Whaley to our school!
During his visit, Representative Whaley met with our 3rd graders to review how a bill becomes a law and spoke with our high school government students about important issues impacting our state.
We truly appreciate him taking the time to spend the day with our students and for demonstrating what civic engagement looks like in action.
