FANS students are getting their hands dirty this week — literally! The club is growing fresh herbs to make homemade salsa, combining hands-on gardening with healthy eating in one fun, tasty project.

From planting to harvesting to cooking, students are learning where their food comes from and how simple, fresh ingredients can come together into something delicious. It's a great reminder that healthy habits can be fun, hands-on, and even a little messy! 🌿

💡 Parent Tip of the Week!

Want to open the door to more conversation with your middle schooler? Try this: once a week, ask them to teach you something — a game they're into, a song they love, or even a concept from class.

Teens (and tweens!) often open up the most when they're the expert in the room. It's a simple way to build connection while showing them their knowledge and interests matter. 💙💛

💻 Why No Personal Devices? Reason #1

Our 1:1 technology model means every Ocali student already has access to a school-issued device whenever technology is needed for instruction.

This ensures teachers can plan lessons around one consistent platform — and that every student, regardless of what they have (or don't have) at home, has equal access to the same tools.

No student needs to bring a personal laptop or tablet — we've got it covered. 💙
