Student Spotlight By: Emily Price
Coming into the new year, the teachers are having no shortage of students to choose from. This month, Chloe Phillips was nominated and voted overall as our student spotlight. An active participant in our school, she is in Key Club, FCA, SGA, FBLA, Diamond Dolls, and Focus. She is also a football manager, a star in our archery team, and ranked 3rd in her class. When asked to be described by her peers, Hannah Carpenter says: “She’s very caring and considerate of others.” Another close friend, Maddie Hammonds says: “She’s very kind and respectful.” Her teachers are constantly praising her achievements. Mrs. Carpenter remarks on her work ethic: “She is an extremely hard worker -- she’s already spent dozens of hours on yearbook, just designing pages!” Any task that she is assigned is always completed to the best of her abilities. Chloe plans on attending The University of Mobile. She says that for her future career, she would like to “teach english to people who don’t know english”. Wherever her life takes her, we look forward to seeing all of the many things she will achieve!
Elementary By: Samantha Ibarra
January is an exciting month for Elementary! In the McSteam Lab 2nd grade are making their very own rain gauges. These rain gauges will be used to collect rain and measure the amount of rainfall. Also, the Library is doing a Six Flags Read-A-Thon. The deadline for this challenge will be February the 22nd and the winner will win a free ticket to Six Flags. Mrs. Lansford’s 2nd grade class is learning about animal adaptations. They will be learning about different species of predators and prey to help
them learn about different adaptations animals have. 2nd grade is also learning cursive which is a required school, but not many are taught it. Mrs. Spurling’s 3rd grade class collaborated with partners from Mexico to help educate others on renewable energy sources. They are also beginning to learn about fractions. I’m excited to see what elementary can show us next month!
