Our 8th graders studied lab safety and created a display featuring Jeff, a skeleton who breaks every rule imaginable so that 7th and 6th graders could learn from Jeff's mistakes. Through A+ Arts Integration, students combined art, humor, and science to make learning more engaging and memorable. Jeff may be a safety disaster, but he is teaching everyone exactly what not to do! All 6-8 Grade students will take their Lab Safety Rules and Regulations Test on Friday!

🧪🍪 Archaeology… but make it delicious!

Our 6th grade students in Ms. Christoff’s class got hands-on with archaeology! They explored the importance of conserving artifacts and learned how archaeologists carefully excavate objects from the ground.

Their excavation site? Chocolate chip cookies! 🍪🔎 Students practiced using excavation techniques to carefully remove the “artifacts” (chocolate chips) without damaging the cookie.

Who knew archaeology could be so sweet?! 🏺✨

On Friday, our CSD staff took part in Stop the Bleed training, building important skills and confidence to respond quickly and effectively during an emergency.
