The 5th and 6th grade class finished up their novel study for "The Wild Robot." They concluded with a project that involved writing code, both to move a Sphero robot around the island they created from the story and to tell a summary of the novel as it navigated that island. It was a major project with much design and redesign along the way. The students did a great job! Best of all, they had fun along the way!

Important Game Note for January 16!
The Simms bus had some issues causing their team to run late. As a result, the first JV boys game will not start until approximately 4:40pm. We will then roll forward with games times. Thus, the varsity girls will likely begin around 6:10pm and the varsity boys contest will likely start around 7:40pm.
