This week, we are starting our Smarter Balanced State testing. To get an accurate picture of the true ability of our students, it is important they give maximum effort. In addition, perseverance is an important attribute that we are working on with our students. Please emphasize the importance of effort and perseverance to your child. Let's knock these tests out of the ballpark! Pirate Pride!

The Junior English class is currently reading The Great Gatsby, a classic American Literature novel set in the 1920's. To get everyone in the spirit, Mrs. Hubbell threw them a 1920's-themed party. Students had to create either a "mocktail" or appetizer that would have been served at a Gatsby party and give a brief speech over why it would've been served there. Students then enjoyed their creations while watching a film version of the story!
The Avon track team is officially underway with their season. With nearly 60 kids on the team, we are looking forward to a great season with nice weather!

Congratulations to Lila Vanderlei who just returned from Washington DC where she participated in the National Stem Festival.

Attendees also participated in mentor sessions, engaged in hands-on STEM activities, explored a public expo, and benefited from networking opportunities, among other exciting offerings. The National STEM Festival celebrates the exceptional talents of our nation's youth and the innovative businesses driving progress, all year round. Lila presented her project on using Histograms to detect soil moisture. Way to Go Lila, hope you enjoyed your week in DC
