They had to read, answer questions, and solve puzzles to uncover a four-digit code that would unlock a treasure box.

Some students from Mr. Swain's Broadcasting and Publications classes attended the CMU Media Rocks Event today where they participated in sessions focused on television broadcasting, journalism, news production, social media, and more!
Students in grades 10, 11, and 12 had the opportunity to tour the campus of Central Michigan University, meet with an admissions representative, and have lunch in the dining hall. It was great for the students to hear about the programs offered, campus life, and ways to pay for college. Thank you to CMU for having us! Fire Up Chips! 🔥

The Bulldog Bots, our MS Robotics team, competed in their first of two competitions this past weekend at the Freeland Qualifier.
Their robot (Bulldog 1) performed well. It had to pick up blocks, place blocks in baskets, or hang them on a bar, and the robot had to hang on a bar and perform autonomous tasks.
After regular match play, they ranked 10th out of 35 teams, with a record of 4 wins and one loss. The Bulldog Bots made the playoffs and served as Captain of Alliance 6. However, they were eliminated from play after two hard-fought matches.
Congratulations to Team 21860, The Bulldog Bots! Keep up the excellent work!

Mrs. Pumford's 5th-grade students are working on a collaborative writing activity where three to four students work together to create a fictional piece of writing. This helps students learn how to share ideas, build on each other’s thoughts, and improve their writing skills by giving and receiving feedback. This allows students to understand the concept of partner writing and encourages them to learn how to collaborate creatively and how, in the future, it is a life skill they will need in their careers as well.
Not only is it a learning experience, but it's also fun to see how each other's thoughts and ideas come to life.
Mrs. Pumford's fifth-grade class is learning about wind vanes. Watch the video below to see the fifth graders observing which way the wind was blowing!
