Today's schedule was rearranged to accommodate our MSP testing.  As a result, I got to have the 6th graders first period!  We tackled a STEM paper tower activity and had fun designing, testing, analyzing, redesigning, retesting, etc. The challenge?  Using only two sheets of printer paper, a small roll of transparent tape, and scissors, students had to design and create the tallest freestanding, stable tower possible.  :)

Tomorrow is afternoon chapel with SOAR awards--we'd love to have you join us.  Also, the 6th grade will have their math MSP on Thursday morning at 8:45 AM.  Finally, our baseball team is playing at St. Joe's today--Go Eagles!
