Seventh Grade Visits Prickett's Fort! 🏰
Today, our 7th-grade students traveled back in time with a visit to Prickett's Fort! Despite the rain, they had a blast exploring the daily life of early settlers.
Students got to:
🪓 Try their hand at tomahawk throwing
🛡️ Learn about militia training and frontier defense
🧒 Play traditional children’s games
🔥 Watch a live blacksmithing demonstration
🧵 Discoved the importance of the early fur trade in colonial America
It was an exciting day full of hands-on learning and discovery about 18th-century life. A huge thank you to the staff at Prickett's Fort for such an immersive and educational experience!

🎲 Skittles + Math = Sweet Learning! 🍬📊
Yesterday, Ms. Andrews’ 7th Grade Math classes had a blast during a hands-on probability lab! Students used Skittles to explore the difference between theoretical and experimental probability.
They first calculated the theoretical probability of pulling a red Skittle from their pack, then put it to the test—recording the experimental results after 10, 50, and 100 pulls. It was a colorful and tasty way to see how math works in real life!
Way to go, 7th grade mathematicians! 👏 #MathInAction #HandsOnLearning #MiddleSchoolMoments #SkittleStats
Mrs. Peters 4th/6th period class had a challenge this year to complete two lessons each week and pass them to receive a point on their challenge board.
