This 7th Grade Team enjoyed an ice cream celebration today as the first winners of our College & Career Readiness monthly competition.🍦They sailed across the bulletin board by being leaders in our school community: showing academic growth, participating in Homecoming dressup days, following their social contract, and more. We’re proud of you, eLITe Raiders!

Students in Earth Science conducted experiments to pair with their study of minerals. They watched salt crystals grow over 3 weeks time while learning about properties of minerals. For a culminating activity for the unit, students experienced the Cookie Mining Challenge, where they lived the experience of a mining company: land and equipment purchase, operations and laws, inspections and audits, and connections to environmental careers.
