As we wrap up the month of February, we want to take a moment to celebrate two of our hardworking YA students! 🎉✨
One student works on a dairy farm and is truly passionate about his future in agriculture. His dedication, strong work ethic, and commitment to learning the industry are inspiring as he builds skills for a successful career in farming.
Our second student works at BAPI and takes great pride in her dedication to academics. She balances her responsibilities with determination and continues to show excellence both in the workplace and in the classroom.
We are so proud of these students for their commitment, responsibility, and drive. Keep up the amazing work — your futures are bright! ✨

Yesterday, our middle school students had the incredible opportunity to attend the Sources of Strength Regional Retreat focused on the theme of Hope Quest. 💚
They joined middle school students from several other school districts for a powerful day of connection, learning, and leadership. Throughout the retreat, students explored what hope truly means and reflected on the journey of Hope—understanding that hope isn’t just a feeling, but a path we build through support, resilience, and community.
Our students participated in meaningful discussions, shared ideas, and strengthened their commitment to spreading positivity and encouragement within our school. We are so proud of the way they represented our community and embraced the message that hope grows stronger when we lift one another up.

Series Wrap-Up: Literacy – The Keys to Success
As we conclude our four-part literacy series, we are reminded that reading, writing, language, speaking, and listening are deeply connected skills that work together to support student success.
When students read complex texts with understanding, write clearly with evidence, build strong vocabulary, and confidently communicate their ideas, they are developing the tools they need to thrive — not only in middle school, but in high school, college, careers, and life.
Literacy is not limited to the language arts classroom. It lives in science labs, math discussions, history debates, the arts, and everyday conversations. Most importantly, it grows strongest when schools and families work together.
Thank you for partnering with us to support your child’s literacy development. Your encouragement, engagement, and commitment make a lasting difference. Together, we are opening doors of opportunity — one skill, one conversation, and one book at a time.

As we celebrate CTE Month in February, we’re proud to spotlight two of our outstanding Youth Apprentices!
One student is gaining hands-on experience in manufacturing, while another is building valuable skills in hospitality. Both are developing real-world experience, strong work habits, and career-ready skills while still in high school.
We’re excited to highlight their hard work and dedication this month! 👏✨

Part 4: Speaking and Listening – Building Confidence Through Communication
In our final part of this literacy series, we focus on the Speaking and Listening Goal — a critical component of student success in middle school and beyond.
Strong speaking and listening skills allow students to collaborate effectively, share ideas clearly, and learn from others. Middle school students are expected to actively participate in discussions, follow agreed-upon conversation norms, ask thoughtful questions, and support their responses with evidence. They also develop the ability to present information formally, summarize what they learn from others, and thoughtfully engage with different types of media.
These skills prepare students not only for academic success but also for leadership opportunities, future careers, and civic engagement. When students can confidently express their ideas and respectfully listen to others, they build both knowledge and character.
In this post, we’ll explore what students are expected to demonstrate and how families can encourage strong speaking and listening habits at home.

Students in Mr. Powell's MS ELA WIN class made homemade compasses out of cork and magnetized sewing needles after reading a lesson on the history of compasses. They worked better than the students predicted, and they were able to find their way back to class using their compasses!
Part 3: Language – Strengthening Vocabulary and Communication Skills
In Part 3 of our literacy series, we focus on the Language Goal — the foundation that supports reading, writing, speaking, and listening.
Language development in middle school is about much more than grammar rules. Students are expected to build and use strong academic vocabulary, understand figurative language, recognize relationships between words, and apply correct grammar, punctuation, spelling, and capitalization in both speaking and writing. These skills allow students to clearly communicate their thinking and fully understand complex texts across all subject areas.
As students are exposed to rich, grade-level texts and intentional instruction, they expand their vocabulary and deepen their understanding of how language works. This growth strengthens their confidence and prepares them for more advanced academic work.
In this post, we’ll outline what students are expected to learn and share practical ways families can help reinforce language development at home.

"Happy 100th Day of School" from Mrs. Seiser's Super Kindergartners!
Warm February day. 5th grade. Our on-campus challenge course.
Students balancing, spotting, communicating, and figuring it out together. Real-time problem solving. Confidence built step by step.
Grateful this kind of learning is part of our students’ school experience, right here on our own campus.
