Mrs. Poquette's 8th-grade class is diving deep into the fascinating world of kinetic energy and phase changes! 🌊💨

Using Oreo cookies as Earth's crust and mantle, 7th graders modeled divergent boundaries with a mid-ocean ridge; convergent boundaries with trenches and mountain formation; and transform boundaries. After they completed drawing their models, students had a delicious clean up!
To go along with our CMS Toy Drive, 6th grade students made holiday cards for the Veteran families of Operation Christmas Angel. Students learned about how giving can be monetary, but that there are also many other "little" ways that they can spread kindness and cheer to others throughout the holiday season and always
