Before Spring Break, this select group of 8th graders tackled a BIG experiment! Under Mr. Leach's guidance, these young scientists took on a high-school-level microbiology unit that took over a week to complete. Students used the organism, escherichia coli, and watched it maintain or even grow with certain variables introduced. 🧪
A HUGE THANK YOU to Mr. Leach. He saw a want in these students to continue and push their knowledge, therefore he took his prep periods to do this week-long process. We have the BEST educators! 🧡
Students in Mrs. Youngblood’s KeyCode classes took apart old desktops and Chromebooks to help them visually understand how the computer works. They loved breaking them apart and fought over whose turn it was! 💻

Earlier this week, Fellowship of Christian Students got together and the meeting was led by Kenzie & Kylie. It was a great opportunity to have fun, bond with friends, and strengthen their faith. ✝
Our 6th Grade Choir performed in the Mildred B. Cooper Memorial Chapel in Bella Vista on Friday, March 8. They workshopped songs from the 1600s to the present day in a space that replicates the acoustical environment that choirs have sung in for hundreds of years. After hearing their beautiful songs reverberate through the chapel, everyone agreed they would rather sing in that space than anywhere they have sung before. A wonderful choral experience!
📖 Here's another book recommendation from Mr. Walker! This book is in our Parent Center. "Sticks and Stones" helps parents teach kids how to speak up for themselves more assertively, gently, and effectively. Each chapter, based on the characteristics of a particular bird, uses a wealth of examples and imaginative exercises to give kids the confidence to speak truth to power. This unique guide, beautifully illustrated with line drawings of each bird and informed by the author's gentle humor, will help kids be effective communicators and includes easy-to-follow exercises and sample scripts.
You're looking at a "Superior" ranked band! Congrats, GMS band students!!
Congratulations to our Student Spotlight of the Week, Bella Lambright 🌟 Mrs. Youngblood said, "Bella embodies the essence of responsibility, consistently catching up on missed work with unwavering dedication. Her commitment to excellence shines through as she willingly lends a helping hand to anyone in need within our classroom community. Bella's respectfulness is truly commendable, and her willingness to step up is evident in her role as the first to volunteer to film other students. Whether it's behind the camera or in her academic pursuits, Bella's positive spirit and initiative make her a true asset to our learning environment. Let's give a round of applause to Bella for her outstanding contributions and for being an inspiring role model for us all!"
