Students in the STREAM Academy afterschool program recently explored the world of graphic design using the Affinity platform. During the activity, middle school students worked to design high-impact business logos, experimenting with different fonts, color schemes, and scaling to create a logo that stands out.

During last Tuesday's FCA meeting, our area representative, Mr. Will Parker, dropped in with delicious doughnuts and a meaningful message! Mr. Parker shared the parable of the wheat and tares, a lesson that left students inspired and motivated as we embrace a new month. Focus on growing strong in goodness, kindness, and love, rather than focusing on weeds. FCA meets each Tuesday at 7:30 AM and is sponsored by Mrs. G. Larkin.

Students in Mr. Izzy's 8th-grade science classes explored the following standards:
Construct an explanation using Newton's Laws of Motion to describe the effects of balanced and unbalanced forces on the motion of an object and analyze and interpret data to identify patterns in the relationships between speed and distance, and velocity and acceleration! We are impressed by how far a recycled water bottle, lots of masking tape, a little water, and cardboard can go!
