Cheerleader of the Week 📣 This week we’re celebrating Jenika! Her determination and willingness to try new things have stood out, and she is always open to feedback so she can keep improving. That mindset is what helps great athletes become even better teammates. Always open to helping others is what makes great leaders! We’re so proud to have her on the team and can’t wait to see her shine even more next year in her senior year of cheer. Keep pushing yourself, Jenika. Your future is going to be a great one! 💙📣 #CheerleaderOfTheWeek #SeniorSeasonAhead #HardWorkShows #TeamSpirit

5th and 7th grade SAIL did their make-up field trip that was cut short due to weather last time. Because 5th grade made their own escape rooms in class, it was time to try the real thing! Seventh grade escaped in The Lost City, but unfortunately, 5th grade did not in Under Pressure. However, they were on the last problem. Logic and communication were key in the process!

Middle school SAIL students are thrilled with the new classroom additions: a makerspace and a Chompsaw. From setting them up to figuring out how to use everything, it has been a busy classroom!

✨ Cheerleader of the Week ✨ This week we’re shining the spotlight on Kami 🤍 New to cheer this year as a junior and already making it look like she’s been here all along. With her dance background, Kami has caught on so quickly and jumps into everything with confidence and grace. She’s always smiling, always encouraging her teammates, and never hesitates to hop in and try something new. We are beyond grateful to have her energy, positivity, and heart on this team. So excited she took the leap into cheer and we can’t wait to see what next year brings for her ✨📣 Come cheer with Kami at the Cougar Cheer Clinic!!!

The 6th grade SAIL class was excited to explore Makey Makeys which relies on closed circuitry and using conductive objects. The lunch ladies were sweet to share carrots with us in the first trial. The students moved to quarters and then conductive pencils to control the computer as well as make music. They aren't even done exploring yet but I heard the word "fun" mentioned multiple times in the learning process!
