This year's winner of the annual teacher turkey bowl is Ms. Alyssa Knight. It was a fierce competition, but she went home with a frozen turkey trophy today!
Our November Students of the Month in the Jr High and High School are 7th grader Layla Harter and Sophomore Brady Cline. About Layla, her nominating teacher said: Layla is a happy, pleasant person. She works hard to do well in her classes, and I have never seen her be anything but kind to those around her. Brady was nominated by 3 teachers who shared: 1) Brady always comes to class with a smile on his face and ready to work. He is helpful to other students and very respectful! 2) Brady is a nice kid! He tries hard and does not whine or complain if the learning is difficult. I appreciate that he gives his best! 3) Brady is a very hard working young man who is always respectful and polite to both his teachers and peers. He exhibits great effort in the classroom and pushes himself to improve.
Thank you, Layla and Brady and great job!!

Mrs. Tapia's World Foods class completed their China lab yesterday! Students made homemade crab rangoon, seasoned chicken in a homemade sauce, and lo mein noodles. Students worked together and prepped everything the day before giving them more time to cook the next day, and more importantly, EAT their delicious food. This was our best lab so far!
🧬 DNA Extraction Lab 🧬
This week, Ms. Means' 7th grade science students took a closer look at DNA with a hands-on strawberry extraction lab! 🍓🔬 Using isopropyl alcohol, clear dish soap, and salt, they successfully isolated DNA from strawberries. It was incredible to see their excitement as they watched the strands of DNA appear before their eyes!
This lab ties into our lessons on how genes are passed down and how they shape our traits and characteristics. Ask your student about the process or what surprised them the most about DNA—it’s been a fascinating experience!
Check out our scientists in action!
