Ms. Di Bella's 7th grade ELA class participated in a mock trial. As a class, they read and annotated the short story "The Tell-Tale Heart" by Edgar Allan Poe. In the story, the narrator commits a crime. The students chose to be part of either the defense or the prosecution and prepared a presentation using text evidence to support their claims and overall argument. The students' goal was to successfully argue and ultimately persuade the jury (made of teachers) in their favor!

Students in Mrs. Cawley's 8th grade math class put their problem-solving skills to the test with a systems-of-equations scavenger hunt. Each clue described a real-world situation, and students had to define their own variables, write equations to model the scenario, and solve the system using the elimination method. Every correct solution led them to the next challenge, keeping them moving, thinking, and collaborating.

To help beat the winter blues, students at the middle school participated in a "Stranger Things" morning music contest. Songs from the series were played each morning and students guessed the name, artist and year released. Who doesn't love starting off their day with some 80s music? These ladies were our top winners!
