She always goes out of her way to help classmates and lend a listening ear. She treats everyone with kindness and consideration, creating a positive atmosphere in our school. Whether it's offering a kind word or just a smile on her face, her actions embody the spirit of respect and inclusion. We appreciate Cheyene being a role model for others and reminding us of the importance of kindness. Congratulations, Cheyene! You make a school a better place!

Mrs. Dalton's 6th-grade social studies class is buzzing with excitement as students dive into hands-on learning about Ancient Egypt! The room feels like a time machine as students take on the role of ancient embalmers, mummifying tomatoes with precision. To top it off, they’ve been busy mastering the art of writing their names in intricate hieroglyphics. This interactive journey through history has truly brought the wonders of Ancient Egypt to life, and the students are loving every minute of it!
