Students in Mrs. Mackley's Advanced ELA class concluded their Shakespeare unit with our annual debates on whether fate or free will ultimately determines one's destiny.

Thank you to all the families who were able to attend the debates, and to those who gave their support from afar; your support means so much to Mrs. Mackley and her students!

Congratulations to the members of the Hauser band program who participated in IGSMA Solo & Ensemble on Saturday! We had students in all three grade levels involved, and our students all took home Division 1 gold medals, several with perfect scores. Way to go!
Mrs. Esposito and Mrs. Harvey's 6th grade Science classes put on their investigator hats for a hands-on lab exploring the characteristics of shadows! Students used light sources and various objects to observe how shadows are formed and how their size, shape, and direction change depending on the position of the light. Through experimenting and recording their observations, they discovered that shadows are created when an object blocks light and that moving the light source closer or farther away can dramatically change a shadow’s appearance. It was exciting to see students making predictions, testing their ideas, and drawing conclusions like true scientists!
