Miss Whaley’s 3rd and 7th hour students took on an exciting hands-on learning experience this week as they dissected sheep brains to deepen their understanding of the nervous system. 🐑💡
Students explored the different parts of the brain, compared animal and human brain structures, and discovered how the nervous system gathers and processes information throughout the body. While a few thought the process was a little gross, they loved the responsibility of using sharp tools with precision and identifying key structures.
Our Bulldogs were engaged, curious, and eager to learn something new through this unique science activity. 🐾❤️

🍪 BAKE FOR A CAUSE SUCCESS! 🧁
Our Middle School math students in Mrs. Grondin’s class took on the Bake for a Cause Challenge, and they absolutely rose to the occasion!
To complete this project, students had to:
📘 Find a recipe
➗ Calculate ingredient amounts
💲 Stay within a budget
🍽️ Bake their treats
🎁 Package them for sale
Not only did they put their consumer-based math skills to the test, but they practiced teamwork, problem-solving, and responsibility every step of the way.
Here’s what our students had to say about the experience:
✨ “Everyone shared really well, and we were all productive.”
✨ “There wasn’t any arguing; people from other groups helped each other.”
✨ “It was really fun, and everyone took care of their area.”
✨ “We had to change our recipe a little, and it still turned out good.”
Their teamwork paid off in more ways than one! Our 8th graders raised $210, which they are proudly donating to the Morenci Nightlight program. 💛
Mrs. Grondin shared, “Thank you, Morenci Education Foundation, for allowing our 8th graders to combine their consumer-based math skills and teamwork traits in an effort to raise money for a local non-profit. It is incredible to see them work together to reach a goal… I admit that I got choked up as I watched them help one another throughout the process. This year’s 8th-grade team raised $210 and is donating their profits to our Morenci Nightlight program. I am SO proud of them and SO thankful to you for funding our Bake For A Cause event.”
👏 A huge THANK YOU to Morenci Education Foundation for making this hands-on learning opportunity possible, and an even bigger shoutout to our incredible students for baking with purpose and heart.

Our Jasper Johns art project is officially complete! Students studied the Army veteran and artist’s iconic American flag collage, learning how he layered newspaper, hot beeswax, and oil paint to create his famous work. Using his techniques as inspiration, our young artists created their own newspaper American flags from start to finish, and they look incredible! 🎨✨❤️🤍💙

Beaks, food, and lots of curiosity! 🐥Our 1st graders learned how animal traits help them survive by trying out different “beaks” to see which ones could pick up which foods. Science is so much fun! ❤️🧪
