In CATS class, students developed countries using strategic thinking and cooperation to grow infrastructure, expand territory, advance technology, form alliances, and influence global events. This project encouraged students to apply academic skills in real-world simulations while fostering critical thinking, creativity, diplomacy, and leadership. Each country had a station where classes could talk with the citizens and learn about what had been developed.

The last day of school is Friday, May 30th. Students will be dismissed at 11:46 am, and no backpacks are needed this day!

Just a reminder, there is no school on Monday, May 26th.

Join us in celebrating the retirement of an extraordinary educator, mentor, and advocate — Karla Bunse! For 26 years, she has been a guiding light in our district, beginning her journey as a compassionate kindergarten teacher, then serving as an elementary school counselor, and most recently supporting countless students as our dedicated middle school counselor. Her impact spans generations — helping young learners take their first steps in the classroom, guiding children through their elementary years, and offering steady support during the transformative middle school experience. Her kindness, wisdom, and unwavering commitment have left a lasting legacy in every hallway and heart. Thank you, Ms. Bunse, for your years of dedication, your endless encouragement, and for always putting students first. You will be deeply missed but never forgotten. Wishing you all the best in this exciting new chapter!
