💜🧡🐾 Jaguars engineering their way to the top! 🐾🧡💜
Students in Mrs. Watson’s class took on the Paper Tower Challenge this week — using only a few sheets of paper, tape, and scissors to design and build the tallest, strongest tower they could imagine.
Teams brainstormed, planned, built, tested… and then reflected on what worked and what they’d change next time. Talk about creativity, teamwork, and problem‑solving in action!

✨ Our Jaguars were busy learning on Day Three!
• 7th graders in Ms. Beck’s and Mrs. Greene’s classes dove into creative writing activities that had them thinking, drafting, and sharing their ideas.
• Over in Mrs. Kovich’s room, students grabbed their whiteboards to work through math problems and show their reasoning.
• And our 6th‑grade band students practiced how to correctly hold their mouthpiece—building strong fundamentals from day one.
We love seeing our students engaged, confident, and growing every single day! 💜🐾🧡
