Recently in class, 8th grade math students reviewed slope with a self-checking scavenger hunt! 🕵️‍♀️📚 They solved for slope on each card, then searched the room for the next card with their answer—if they couldn’t find it, they knew to go back and double-check their work. We love this fun activity that Mrs. Vaughn prepared to help students review for their math OSTP!

🌵🎨 Mrs. Farrell's art class recently created beautiful desert-themed artwork to help welcome a special guest— Dusti Bowling, an author whose books are set in the heart of the desert! 🏜️📚 Some students drew inspiration directly from her book covers, while others imagined their own vibrant desert landscapes filled with sunsets, cacti, and desert creatures. Their artwork brought her stories to life and showed just how excited we were for her visit! #EaglesRISE

Yesterday, our 6th graders, and a group of 7th and 8th graders, had the fantastic opportunity to listen and ask questions with the talented author, Dusti Bowling in Summit's Media Center! The students were absolutely captivated by the real-life stories that inspired her writing. They were also thrilled to learn about life in the desert and the unique animals Dusti has at her home. A huge shoutout to our librarian, Mrs. Williams, and our media assistant, Mrs. Christiansen, for creating such a wonderful experience for our students!
