Yesterday on Halloween, students in Mrs. Swift's 7-4 Science classes enjoyed a fun and tasty scientific activity! Each student started by hypothesizing which color M&M would be the most and least common in a fun-size bag. Then, they dove into the experiment—counting the M&Ms in their bags, collecting data, and sharing results. Together, they created a bar graph to visualize the findings and discussed the class results. It was a hands-on way to practice data analysis, and the Halloween treat made it extra sweet!
Congratulations to our classified and certified staff members of the month, Liliana Fragoso & Stephen Tillinghast!
Have fun and be safe tonight, JMS!🍭
Team 7-2 students—and their mad scientist teacher, Dr. Nolte—had a monster mash of science today! Spooky experiments in the lab packed the day with treats and tricks. But beware! These ghouls are no ordinary mindless zombies - they are frighteningly smart!
😱Hauntingly good 😱
Happy Halloween 🧡🖤🧡🖤

Thank you to all the parents who came out tonight to learn about teen brain development at our first parent night of the school year. Special thanks to our presenters Meredith Waddel and Emily Ervin.
Fusing science and fantasy, the bright young minds of Team 7-2 have crafted a legion of superheroes (and villains) inspired by the elements of the Periodic Table. Each character’s abilities showcase the unique properties of their chosen element. From electrical conductivity to radioactivity, every hero brings a distinctive skillset to the table *pun intended*. Visit our gallery to explore and learn from the students’ creations, now on display in the upstairs 200 Wing (only for limited time).
📚Author Visit!!! 📚
Today advanced ELA students and book club members heard writing and research tips from author April Henry. She even autographed their books! Students were captivated by her stories and inspired to continue writing themselves. April even stopped by our book fair where one of her titles is for sale!
This week, students in Mrs. Swift's 7-4 Science classes created a life-size Periodic Table of Elements as part of their Structure of Matter Unit. Each student selected an element, conducted background research, and created an element profile. The profiles were then arranged in atomic order to form a giant Periodic Table. It is on display in the downstairs 300 wing!

Have a lovely fall break JMS!🍂🍁
Last week, students in Mrs. Swift's Science classes created their own prototype of a skateboarding half-pipe using a variety of materials and a marble. The project allowed students to demonstrate their understanding of Kinetic and Potential energy in a creative and engaging way. Thank you to all the parents and caregivers who donated supplies for this project. They had a great time!🛹
Amanda Taylor's Health & Wellness 2 classes had a Q&A session with Dr. Anne Weese, the Director of Mental Wellness & Sport Psychology at K-State University. #growthmindset #futurefocused
JMS AVID 8th grades students completed community service by volunteering to move furniture, clean surfaces, and straighten bookshelves in their library today. Part of their curriculum is learning to serve their community and they did a great job today!!
Have your smiles ready tomorrow!
