Shout out to Mrs. Hall for being the first teacher of the year to use the STEAM lab. Sixth grade geography students designed and created maps this week. Students had a choice on whether to design a map of the school building or a map of the route they take to get to school.
Thanks to a grant from the Washington Community Foundation, STEAM lab students were able to plant seeds, grow vegetables and take the plants home as part of the Harvest Your Own Food Project.

Mrs. Stewart’s 7th grade LA honors class is currently reading the novel, Schooled. The main character in the book leads the school in a tie dye activity in art class, so they took this idea to the STEAM Lab. They spent a day practicing different ways to tie dye and then brought in their own items and created their own creations. They did a great job!
The SMS Drama Club will have a show March 16 and 17 at the Trueblood Performing Arts Center. Come support the arts!
