Project Week is the time of year when students can pursue passion projects that take their fun and learning outside of traditional curriculum. During this time, they built, played, cooked, explored, solved, danced, and experimented. Thanks to all our teachers for their creativity and excitement in providing these opportunities for our students!

Our students “signing out” of grade 8! We are proud of all they have accomplished and look forward to seeing what they achieve in high school and beyond. Shout-out to students Derrick S. and Ethan B. for spearheading this creative project!

It’s that time of year!

This week, our students in Grades 6–8 take their Comprehensive Exams. These assessments provide an opportunity for students to demonstrate the knowledge and skills they have developed throughout the year and to reflect on how much they have learned.

While these exams are an important milestone, they are only one measure of student growth and achievement. Over the course of the year, our students have shown their understanding through classwork, projects, discussions, presentations, labs, and countless daily learning experiences.

We encourage students to approach these exams with confidence, knowing that success is built on the effort, perseverance, and learning they have demonstrated all year long. We are proud of their hard work and wish them the very best as they finish the school year strong!

May is Asian American and Pacific Islanders (AAPI) Heritage Month, which celebrates the cultures and contributions of those with roots in China, Hawaii, India, Japan, Guam, and many more countries and territories.

Among our many exciting activities was our Kung Fu Noodles event, where students got to make—and eat!—hand-pulled noodles while watching Kung Fu Panda. We also hosted various recess activities, including cherry blossom painting, sampling baked goods from a local Chinese bakery, and learning hula dancing from Ms. Angkham and our students in the Styles of Dance class. Bulletin boards around campus added to our students’ learning about AAPI achievements.

We encourage our community to continue in their appreciation of diversity all year long!

Grade 3 students recently visited the high school chemistry lab for an exciting demonstration on the properties of metals. Guided by Subject Expert Teacher Ms. Bryant, with help from grade 10 students Adham H., Timothy W., and David X., students explored how different metals produce different colored flames when burned. They also learned about lab and fire safety, and a few brave grade 3 students even burned magnesium strips themselves to witness the brilliant reaction firsthand.

Experiences like these give younger students an early glimpse into high school science while sparking curiosity and excitement for future STEM learning. Great job to both our grade 3 and grade 10 scientists!

We had a great time celebrating our students and their successes this school year! Students had the opportunity to enjoy boba tea, board games, ice cream, puzzles, and bingo, with multiple rounds of teacher-vs-student kickball to round out the week. Special thanks to our National Honor Society students for their leadership during multiple activities!
 
We are continuously impressed by our students each day at school. Their empathy, effort in learning, and dedication to supporting the community are truly admirable. Thank you for making our school such a positive and caring community. You are all greatly appreciated!

Pre-Calculus students in 8Ti recently designed a two-variable experiment that could be conducted in a normal classroom. “Apparently, for me, a normal classroom includes a Pinewood Derby ramp, so the ‘winning’ suggestion sought to measure the effect of adding heavier and heavier weights to a pinewood car,” said their SET, Mr. Norcross.
 
Students added increasing amounts of weight to a pinewood derby car and measured how far it traveled after leaving the ramp. After outgrowing the classroom space, they moved outside, adapting to rougher conditions and frequent crashes while continuing to collect accurate data. Back in the classroom, students graphed their results and explored regression models for further analysis — a great example of math in action!

This week, current and incoming parents came together at our Parent Mixer to build connections in anticipation of the upcoming school year. Families were welcomed by impressive performances from our Chamber Music group before heading into the gym for conversation bingo, keychain making, and writing notes of encouragement for students to see on the first day of school. It was wonderful to see parents quickly connecting and continuing to strengthen the Mountaineer community we value so much! We are excited to welcome so many new families next year and are grateful for the families who continue to help our community thrive.
