🎉💙 What a fantastic Spring Pep Rally! 💙🎉

Our school community came together to celebrate another wonderful season filled with school spirit, teamwork, and positive character.

A special congratulations to our Positivity Project Award winners! These students were recognized for consistently demonstrating the character strengths and values that help make our school such a positive and supportive community. We are incredibly proud of the kindness, leadership, perseverance, and integrity they model each day.

Thank you to our talented students who performed and our teachers for helping create a school culture where everyone is encouraged to grow, support one another, and shine. 🌟

Our third graders have officially embarked on their journey through the Southwest in Social Studies Class! 🌵✨

Working in pairs, students researched one of nine tour sites and became experts on their assigned location. Each team then brought their learning to life by creating detailed dioramas featuring three-dimensional representations of the site, along with important historical figures connected to it.

Students proudly presented their projects to K4–2nd grade “tourists,” sharing the historical, economic, geographic, and governmental significance of each location.

We are so proud of the impressive preparation, teamwork, creativity, and presentation skills our students demonstrated throughout this exciting experience! 👏📚

This week, our eighth graders proudly presented their Capstone Projects, the culmination of months of research, creativity, problem solving, and independent learning. Each student selected a topic connected to a personal passion or real world issue and worked to develop both a research component and a final product or presentation to share with the community. The showcase highlighted not only the students’ academic growth, but also their leadership, perseverance, and ability to think critically and creatively. From innovative designs and scientific exploration to advocacy projects and artistic creations, the variety of topics reflected the unique talents and interests of this remarkable class.

What an incredible weekend for our Girls on the Run participants! 🎉🏃‍♀️💜

We are so proud of each and every girl who crossed the finish line this weekend. Their determination, confidence, teamwork, and positive energy were inspiring to everyone cheering them on!

From training together to accomplishing their goals on race day, these girls showed what it means to be strong, courageous, and unstoppable. 💪✨

A huge thank you to our coaches, families, volunteers, and supporters who helped make this season so special. Congratulations, girls — you did it! 🎊

Wrapping up an incredible Leadership Week with a memorable trip to Mount Vernon!

It was an honor for our NJHS and SGA students to participate in their leadership program, gain valuable insights and reflect on the importance of service, character, and leading with purpose. Grateful for the opportunity to learn alongside such inspiring individuals and to end the week in a place filled with so much history and leadership legacy.

Looking forward to applying these lessons moving forward!

Today, we had the distinct honor of welcoming Rear Admiral David T. Hart, Jr. (retired) as our guest speaker for Leadership Assembly.

Our students just wrapped up an exciting genetics unit with our **Project Alien** activity! 👽🧬

Each student was randomly assigned genotypes and learned which traits were dominant or recessive. Using this information, they brought their very own alien to life by illustrating its physical traits (phenotype).

But it didn’t stop there! Students then “paired” their alien with a parent alien and used Punnett squares to predict the probability of inherited traits. With those results, they designed the next generation of their alien species!

This hands-on project was a fun and creative way to apply genetics concepts while thinking like real scientists. We loved seeing their imagination and understanding come together! 🌟
