Letter from the past! Tyfani White (now Tyfani Graham) recently received a letter written back in 2008 to her future self as a project in Mr. Rychtarsky's Language Arts class. The project was used to teach letter writing skills. The final product was a letter to be written to yourself, to be opened after graduation from high school. Tyfani moved out of the district before her 2013 graduation, and the letter just surfaced as Mr. Rychtarsky was going through a few boxes, so it was time to reunite the letter with its owner - albeit 10 years after the intended date. Tyfani got a kick out of the content of the letter, which also included a photo of her and some friends sealed in the envelope. Tyfani has been employed as a Pharmaceutical Technician in WVU Ruby Hospital for 10 years. Thank you for sharing, Tyfani!

High School Students had the opportunity on April 12 to take the College Board's SAT in-house. Students took advantage of being able to take the exam here on campus without having to travel to another testing location. All testers were then treated to pizza for lunch. Thank you to our school administration for allowing this opportunity and to our School Counselor, Mrs. Berry-Sakai for planning and preparing for the day.

All Biology students put their teamwork and research skills to use during today's class where we had a Genetically Modified Organisms (GMOs) debate. Students were either for or against GMOs, then they were asked to conduct research and tailor an argument to persuade others. During this time students practiced researching information, teamwork, and communication skills to prove their point. Way to go everyone! All the debates were fantastic.

Throughout the month of March, grades K-3 have been participating in a March Madness Book Tournament! The bracket-style tournament began several weeks ago with 16 of Dr. Seuss' most-loved books. Each day, 2 books went head-to-head and students voted on their favorite. After a handful of upsets and some bittersweet victories along the way, the winning book was announced: There's a Wocket in My Pocket! Thanks to all our K-3 teachers and students for participating!
