💡 Learning in action at SMS!

On Thursday, students in Mrs. Fuller’s Science class put their learning to the test! After learning about electrical circuits this week, students had the opportunity to build their own circuits. The excitement on their faces when those light bulbs lit up was priceless! 💡⚡

We love seeing our Panthers learning through hands-on experiences! 💙🐾
