Ms. Brungardt’s science classes are working hard as they race toward the end of semester 1. The anatomy class has been building haunted houses based on phobias, examples of which can be found in the hallways near their class. The environmental science class created a news clip as meteorologists to practice their weather predicting skills for various areas around the world. Fun ways to apply scientific skills to the world around them. The biology classes have extracted DNA from strawberries and are moving on to protein synthesis, so they can better understand how living things survive and thrive.

Mrs. Moreno’s 2nd year Hotel Restaurant Management students have been hard at work preparing gingerbread so they can build their fabulous gingerbread houses. They have learned to modify their recipes in order to make the gingerbread strong enough to stand up to the construction process.

Sitting in Mr. Grossman's pre-calculus class is always an enjoyable experience. While students experience productive struggle with complex math, the atmosphere is always positive and fun. The respect and rapport between teacher and students, and students with their peers is always a joy to see. There is always laughter coming from that class. When the students catch Mr. Grossman in an error, the accolades they receive are always so positive. It dominates to the students that mistakes are acceptable and good for us to learn from.

This week, 9th grade PE with Ms. Durn z worked on their basketball skill, ending with a rousing game of musical basketball. There was great, positive communication between the teacher and students, and students and their peers with encouragement and night competition. Near the end of class, Mrs. Mitkowski's 11th grade ELA class came in to use the sights, sounds, and smells of the gym in their descriptive writing assignment. Great engagement and real-world application of skills for all involved.

The sophomores today in Mrs. Gutshall's ELA class had a brief brain break today to decrease any stress and anxiety they brought to class with them. The quick, 30 second acitivites brought laughs as well as moved stufents out of an over-thinkint cycle. A great use of transition moments between learning activities.

Our senior class has begun their Participatory Budgeting Legacy Project. In collaboration with Arizona State University’s Center for the Future of Arizona, the students will research and select projects that are within a budget of $1000. They will then promote the projects to the school, who with then vote on the preferred project, and finally follow the selected project through to completion. These projects improve student agency, collaboration, and critical-thinking while preparing them to be actively engage in their civic life outside of school. The project also encourages the entire student population to engage civically as the process follows municipal Participatory Budgeting models and students will go through the entire voting process from registering to final decision on how part of a public budget will be spent. Thank you to Mrs. Mitkowski, our Government and Economics teacher, for spearheading the great real-world application of civic participation for our students.
