This week one of the reading groups read a story about a group of children who used their imaginations and turned a cardboard box into several different things. I asked the students to use their imaginations and if they had a cardboard box, what would they turn it into? Check out our movable alphabet sentences.

Each year the faculty play volleyball against the Eighth graders. We were able to watch the game and cheer on the teachers and students. The Middle School students also had a playoff game for their Intramural Volleyball league. We made signs and had a great time with the whole school.
