Today, we recognize and celebrate the retirement of two outstanding junior high educators, Stacy Johns and Kim Love. 💙💛

A retirement reception was held in the library yesterday afternoon in honor of their years of dedication, hard work, and commitment to their students. Their impact on countless lives will be felt for many years to come.

Thank you, Mrs. Johns and Mrs. Love, for the difference you have made in our school and community. You will forever be a Blazer, and we wish you both happiness and success in this exciting new chapter! 🎉🍎

📄✈️ Paper airplanes are a fun hands-on way to explore Newton’s laws of motion and the aerodynamics necessary for creating lift that will sustain flight. Students see the inertia of the airplane as it keeps moving after launch until outside forces like drag and gravity slow it down.💨📏 They can also visualize force and acceleration by testing how throwing harder changes the speed and distance.

Students were tasked with designing their planes to achieve the greatest flight distance, and when they were ready, their grade was determined by their best distance of three launches. The longest flight of the day was accomplished by Freshman, Lennox Hosman.🏆 The final lab of the year in Ms. Higgins’ Physical Science classes was a fun way to reflect on how physical science is not abstract; it explains the real things we see and interact with each and every day.🧠

After a long school year of working hard, and spending the past couple of weeks completing state testing, students were rewarded with an End of Testing Celebration Day last Friday! 🎉

The day was filled with games, snacks, laughter, and time spent with friends. Students enjoyed dozens of activities such as Connect Four, chess, cornhole, basketball, pickleball, and of course, an exciting dodgeball tournament! 🏀🎯🏓🤾‍♂️

It was a well-deserved day of fun after a school year of focus and perseverance. 😄
