Partner Grades: Learning, Leading, and Growing Together

“Partner Grades” is one of the most cherished traditions at our school. This program pairs younger students with older student mentors, creating meaningful relationships that grow and develop over time.

These connections don’t just last for a day or a project—they often continue throughout a student’s entire journey at our school. By the time students reach 6th grade, they step into a new role as the “big kids,” ready to mentor a new kindergartener and pass along the same care and encouragement they once received.

Hands-On Science in Middle School

Middle school students have been busy exploring science through hands-on experiments and creative design projects.

During our unit on water and its properties, students investigated the science behind water parks. We discussed concepts like buoyancy, gravity, friction, currents, potential energy, and kinetic energy, as well as the importance of thoughtful design and water conservation. After learning the science, students worked in pairs to design and name their own water slides. The final challenge was putting their designs to the test by adding water and sending ten marbles down the slides—making sure they stayed on course and didn’t collide at the bottom. It was a fun way to see real science principles in action!
