📐 Math in Action! 📊

Our 8th grade mathematicians were putting their skills to work through cooperative learning and hands-on problem solving! Students worked together at whiteboards to graph advanced reflections, sharing strategies, checking one another’s thinking, and making adjustments along the way.

There’s something powerful about learning with others—students can ask questions, explain their reasoning, see different approaches, and learn from the ideas happening around them. 🧠🤝

It was great to see our Hornets thinking, collaborating, communicating, and growing as mathematicians!

📸 Yearbook Club Scavenger Hunt! 📸

Our Rock L. Butler Middle School Yearbook Club is off and running! 🐝💚 Students took on a fun photo scavenger hunt, learning how to use cameras and other photography equipment while capturing some of the moments that make our school special.

We’re excited to see their creativity, teamwork, and photography skills grow throughout the year as they work to create the 2026–27 yearbook! 📖📸

And what better way to kick things off than with a few photos from our first fun-filled full week of the 2026–27 school year! 🎉

Check out some of the highlights! 👀📷
