🎉 Spelling Bee Champions! 🏆
We're thrilled to announce our incredible spelling bee champions!
A huge congratulations to Atharva Arun, our 6th grader, who showcased amazing talent and triumphed over 10 middle school competitors to secure the win as MS Bee Champion! Fisher Alexander (5th grader) also showed amazing spelling skills by beating 17 other elementary students to claim victory as Elementary Bee Champion! 🌟
In an exciting spell-off, Atharva won against Fisher, proving that the competition was fierce and that Atharva is our School-wide Bee Champion! Both of these talented students will advance to the Regions in Charlotte, representing our school with pride. 📚✨ Let's cheer them on as they take their spelling skills to the next level!
Save the Date: Feb. 7th, 5:00 - 7:30 PM: Empty Bowls
The Empty Bowls project has been dedicated to fighting against hunger since 2005. It connects art, community, and service along with education about the worldwide hunger crisis. Empty Bowls Dinner Events allow guests to buy dinner and choose a bowl to keep as a reminder that there are always Empty Bowls in the world.
This year in ART Class the Art Honor Society, MS Art Students, Beta Club, the primary guidance group (under the leadership of Dr. T.), and students in Grade 2-5 will be getting involved in an EMPTY BOWLS service project to show their P.R.I.D.E. (Positivity, Respect, Integrity, Determination, and Empathy). After a lesson on hunger in our world, students will produce and donate their ceramic bowl for the "Empty Bowls Dinner Night." to be held on February 7th. Proceeds of the dinner will be donated to a local food bank as a way to show Empathy for those less fortunate who struggle with hunger.
More details on how to attend the dinner will be provided soon. In the meantime please plan to join us for this worthwhile event!
