Food Donation Thank You

Thank you to all our families and staff members who donated to the Thanksgiving Food Drive for Saint Vincent de Paul.  They picked up the food yesterday and were extremely grateful for all your generous support.

Picture Retakes Tomorrow

As a reminder, picture retakes are being held tomorrow.  Students having pictures retaken may come to school dressed up in whatever they will be wearing for their picture.  All other students must come to school in their uniform.  Please remember if students are getting picture retakes, they must bring their original photos with them.

7th Graders Construct Cells

As part of their Life Science course work, 7th grade students constructed a 3-dimensional model of a plant cell or an animal cell.  Students had to creatively represent the cell organelles (nucleus, nucleolus, mitochondria, smooth E.R. and rough E.R., golgi apparatus, etc.) using items of their choice such as candy, pasta, buttons, string, or foam.  A written report accompanied the project and an oral quiz was given to each group about their model. Below are pictures of some of the students with their models.
