❤️🖤 Homecoming Fun & Hornet Pride! ❤️🖤
One of the very best parts of Homecoming is seeing our students—from elementary through high school—come together for the Special Olympics Homecoming Float!
Our students LOVE riding through town, waving to the crowd, celebrating Homecoming, and showing off their Hornet pride. Moments like these are a great reminder of what makes our school community so special.
A big thank you to the teachers and staff who volunteered their time and worked hard to make this experience possible for our students—we truly appreciate you.
And a special shoutout to Jeff and Kati Westcott for generously donating the straw for our float. Your support helped make the day even more memorable!
We love seeing our students celebrated, included, and having fun together. ❤️🖤

7th grade Engineering is officially underway, and our students just wrapped up the Tallest Spaghetti Tower Challenge!
Using only 20 pieces of dry spaghetti and 1 meter of tape, teams had to design a tower tall enough to compete - and strong enough to hold up a classroom item (all the same mass). Along the way, they learned a lot about criteria and constraints, the importance of teamwork, and that everyone’s ideas have value.
Next up, they’ll be exploring real-world tower design and engineering, including structures like the Burj Khalifa in Dubai and One World Trade Center in New York City.
And of course… congratulations to the 7th grade hour winners pictured - because let’s be honest, everything is a competition in middle school!
Also, fair warning: this is harder than you might think… that’s why it’s called a challenge!

A big shoutout to our 5th graders and CHS Hornet Academy students for helping rinse and cut the lettuce for today’s tasting - students gave it a big thumbs up!
This project is funded through a Local Foods for Schools Grant through the Department of Education. Tasting Tuesdays will happen the first Tuesday of every month as we work to bring healthy, nutritious foods to our lunchrooms and help students learn where our food comes from.
