In music class, our 5th graders are working on bringing silent animation clips to life by adding their own sound effects and musical touches! From exciting action to funny moments, students are exploring how sound can change the mood, tell a story, and make an animation even more engaging.

A big thank-you to our very own Miller parent, Judge Kristal Bradford, for visiting our first graders and sharing all about her important work in the courtroom! Our students loved learning how judges help our community and make a difference in people’s lives.

We are grateful for family members like Judge Bradford who take the time to bring learning to life and help our students make real-world connections!

Our 5th graders put their knowledge of mixtures and solutions to the test this week by creating, mixing, and testing their very own salad dressing recipes! 🧪👩‍🍳👨‍🍳 Through hands-on experimentation, students explored how ingredients combine and worked like real scientists to see their learning come to life.

Who knew science could be so delicious?

This morning, educators came together for professional learning focused on IB - because learning doesn’t stop when you become a teacher.

Great educators are lifelong learners who continue to reflect, grow, and strengthen their practice—and when our teachers grow, our students grow too. 🌱💙

Teachers are learners, too!
