Menu Change for 3-27
Due to the snow day in February, we will be having Shrimp Poppers
Mashed Potatoes and Banana on March 27th instead of pizza crunchers.
📏Our 7th grade math students discovered pi by measuring the circumference and diameter of different circular objects. Then they divided the circumference by the diameter and quickly noticed a pattern-the answer was around 3.14! It was a fun, hands-on way to see how math works in the real world! 🌎
Don't forget to celebrate pi day this Saturday (3/14). We'll be celebrating it a day early at the middle school with different activities and of course, lots of pie! 🥧

Our 7th graders had an amazing day in Des Moines on Tuesday! First they saw National Geographic’s Life on the Move with Lucy Hawkes at the Civic Center, then toured the Iowa State Capitol. Great learning, lots of stairs, big views, and even bigger smiles.
