The "Science of Me" Project: Done and Dusted! 🔬🎉
A huge shoutout to our junior high scientists for crushing the Science of Me project! They've proven that science isn't just in a textbook—it's everywhere, even in their own lives.
From calculating the moon phase on their birthday to analyzing their favorite energy sources and even detailing their learned behaviors, these students have connected personal facts to scientific principles in amazing ways.
The presentations and the Gallery Walk were fantastic! We loved seeing everyone learn more about their classmates through a scientific lens. Great job, everyone!

🧪✨ Another day, another science adventure!
Our 6th-grade scientists were busy exploring chemical weathering in the lab this week. 🌎🔬 From breaking down rocks to seeing science in action, they’re learning how Earth is always changing! 💡💥

🌍✨ Science was colorful today in Mr. Ombrosa’s 7th Grade Science class!
Our Wildcats modeled the layers of the Earth using chalk and salt 🧂🖍️. Each layer showed the different thicknesses—from the thin crust we live on, all the way down to the deep inner core! 🔥💡
Hands-on learning = deeper understanding (and a little fun too 😄). Great job, scientists in the making! 🐾💙🧡

Sept 19 - There will be no school for students on that day. It is a professional day for teachers.
📢 Reminder, Wildcat Families! 🐾
There will be NO SCHOOL on Friday, September 19th due to a Teacher In-Service Day.
Enjoy the long weekend, and we’ll see our students back in class on Monday, September 22nd! ✨📚

🍬✨ Learning History with Skittles! ✨🍬
Our students completed a hands-on simulation about surplus food and job specialization today! Each student started with a bag of Skittles, representing food. Once there was enough surplus, they divided their Skittles into colors to represent different jobs:
❤️ Builders
💜 Pottery Makers
💚 Farmers
🧡 Merchants
💛 Weavers
They quickly discovered that having too many of one job (and not enough of another) meant that trading job specialties was necessary for the community to thrive—just like in early civilizations! 🌍
What a fun (and tasty) way to see history come alive in the classroom! 🎉

🍂 Mrs. Rosenberg’s class traveled way back in time today! Students learned what life was like as hunter-gatherers 🏹. It wasn’t easy—imagine not always having enough food to eat or even breaking bones while hunting for survival. Our Wildcats got a glimpse of just how tough life was in the earliest days of human history! 🐾✨

🌟 A huge thank you to Micaela Ford from South Florida State College – Hardee Campus for visiting our AVID students on Thursday!
She shared valuable information about SFSC’s technical and academic dual enrollment programs and walked students through the steps they can begin taking right now to stay on track for earning college credit, and even completing a degree, while still in high school!
We’re excited to see our students planning for a bright future! 🧡💙
