Our 7th graders in Ms. Short's Science class just wrapped up their Drinking Water Unit and what a way to finish! 💧

Students explored how contaminants make their way into our drinking water, using hands-on models to better understand how pollution can travel underground and impact water sources. From there, they took on the challenge of designing and building their own water filtration systems.

After testing ideas, troubleshooting, and making improvements, each group put their final filters to the test in a class competition. The creativity, problem-solving, and perseverance on display were incredible!

Proud of these students for thinking like scientists and engineers while tackling real-world problems 👏

Our Student Leadership team spent time last week at the Bay County Animal Shelter, delivering blankets and a whole lot of love 🐾

From making the animals more comfortable to spending time playing and socializing, our students showed what it means to lead with compassion and service. These moments matter—not just for the animals, but for the hearts of the students who give their time so selflessly.

Proud of this group for making a difference in our community! 💚
