Students in Mrs. Gray's sixth grade digital citizenship classes are building towers as high as they can without letting the towers fall over. The challenge is to use only paper and they have to stand unsupported for at least 3 minutes. Students are learning to define their problem, brainstorm and research possible solutions and put their plan into action. They will then reflect on the project and what they do better next time.

Students in Mrs. Abner's sixth-grade class participated in student-led book discussions this week in language arts.

Salem Families, The power at the schools has been back on since 7:45am and our buses are running. They may be a bit slower than normal due to some road conditions.
