The kiddos in Mrs. Crook’s 6th grade ELA class enjoyed the beautiful weather today. They were able to partake in a leprechaun hunt to figure out who stole the pot of gold. The students had to read the sentences and interpret the context clues provided to solve the mystery.
Congratulations to the band on their performance at today's large group performance examination for our district! They scored superior in every category. We are very proud of our band and Go Wildcats!
On March 14, Dr. Albertson’s, Mrs. Brunson’s, Coach Cheek, Mrs. Harnage’s, and Mrs. Reid’s classes celebrated Pi Day. Classes celebrated all things STEM with various activities. Some participated in the Pi-lympics, ate pie, created pi crowns, “pi”ed teachers and even enjoyed a Pi themed scavenger hunt.
We are deeply saddened by the loss of a member of our Wildcat family. Mrs. Mary Robinson (driver of Grey Elephant and Pink Rabbit) passed away earlier today. Mrs. Robinson was an avid supporter of athletics and an integral part of her middle school classroom. She was a very important and well-loved member of our faculty. Our thoughts and prayers are with her family at this time. The loss of Mrs. Robinson will be felt among the many students she drove to and from school, her daily colleagues and those very dear students that she helped in class each day. Counselors will be on hand to assist students and adults as they return to classes tomorrow morning.
Tomorrow’s varsity baseball game time at Manchester has been moved up to 4:00. Trying to beat the rain.
