The seventh and eighth graders recently wrote letters to veterans who flew on the April Honor Flight. After reading our letters during the "Mail Call" portion of the flight, three of the veterans wrote to us. It was really fun to hear back from the veterans!
May is Mental Health Awareness Month and in STEM classes 8th graders learned about the impact social media has on their mental health. Students watched the documentary "The Social Dilemma" and did a one pager as a reflection of what they learned from the video. To wrap up the week, Detective Justman and K9 Kala, electronic device detecting K9, visited to share with the student's the importance of their roles with the Mount Pleasant Police Department in keeping children safe online.
Students in Ms. Dees’ room went on a super field trip to see the new Super Mario Galaxy Movie! We practiced our money skills by counting dollars and coins to purchase our popcorn and drink. After the movie, we had a picnic at Old Settlers Park and played! It was such a great day!
Lunch and a fun photo booth were sponsored by Educator's Credit Union! Thank you!!

As a part of the Empathy Unit 8th graders learned about stress and the importance of taking care of themselves first, making them better able to be empathetic to others. Students visited stress management stations to help them identify positive ways to cope with their stressors. A crowd FAVORITE was K9 Kala and her partner Detective Justman from the Mt. Pleasant Police Department. K9 Kala spent the day showing comfort to our students with her therapy dog skills.
8th graders brought in artifacts that represent a memory in their lives that brought them joy or comfort. This is a part of a lesson from their Empathy Unit where they learn about the importance memories can have when facing challenges in life.
