Miss Welden’s ELA classes enjoyed an incentive day filled with board games and fun as a reward for completing their Summer Reading projects before the deadline. Students played classics like Chess, Jenga and Sorry! In addition to the incentive day, students had their names entered into a drawing to win a pair of air pods.

Good afternoon Pilla parents. This is just a reminder that school is closed Tuesday, November 7th through Friday, November 10th. Classes will resume on Monday, November 13th.
Eighth grade students in Mrs. Russo and Ms. Dean's science classes along with Mrs. Russo's period 6 science class created and presented a project on plate tectonics. Students selected a site to research. Some examples of sites included the San Andreas Fault, Yellowstone National Park, Hawaii and the Horn of Africa. Students created a google slideshow of their plate tectonic research along with pictures of the site and diagrams.
Today students in Miss Armanini's class focused on the Communication portion of
the Portrait of a Graduate.
Students listened to the read aloud, “A Little Spot of Feelings.” Students were able to recognize their emotions and inner feelings. Students then chose a feeling spot that resonates with them. They created their spot and wrote about it too!
