🎉💰 Our 8th graders had a great time learning at the Reality Store! Students got a glimpse into the real world by exploring careers, managing a budget, paying bills, and navigating the responsibilities that come with adulthood. From making financial decisions to balancing everyday expenses, they learned valuable life skills while having fun along the way! 🌟💵

👀🔬 Learning by doing in 6th Grade Science!

Our sixth graders got an up-close look at the amazing anatomy of the eye as they dissected real eyeballs! 🧠🧪 Students explored the structures that make vision possible, connected classroom learning to real-world science, and got hands-on experience investigating how the eyeball works.

A little curiosity, a lot of discovery, and some unforgettable science learning! 🥽✨
