♟️ Had a great time stopping by Chess Club today and challenging Logan to a match—he was super gracious to play chess with me! Love seeing students connect with each other (and me!) face-to-face, phone-free, and having fun.
🌲🔨 Our students have been busy putting learning into action—landscaping around the portables, building a new shed for the tennis team, touring a lumber mill, and even getting outdoors to enjoy Maine’s natural beauty. Hands-on experiences like these build skills, teamwork, and lasting memories! 💪🍂
🎨👟 In Ms. Dolley’s Art 1A class, students are putting their observation skills to the test with a still life drawing of their shoes. Using viewfinders as a tool, they’re learning how to focus on shapes, proportions, and details to bring their drawings to life.
🎨🖌️ During today’s Clubs & Activities period, students in our Color Me Calm Club took some time to relax, de-stress, and get creative with coloring. A perfect reminder that art isn’t just fun—it’s also a way to recharge the mind! 💡✨
We have Clubs and Activities tomorrow -- Thursday, September 18th. Don't forget to review all the new clubs and sign up.
