Eighth graders at MWMS worked together to design, sketch and paint a mural incorporating this year’s theme, Random Acts of Kindness. A collaboration between the art department and local artist Joe Pimentel, drawings were blended together to create this amazing mural. This isn’t just a painted wall, it’s a reminder that small actions matter, kindness matters! 🎨 🖌️ @joepimentelart

Did you know February is National Bird-Feeding Month? First grade students and some very special guests in Mrs. Adler’s class at Smith Clove, got a jump on the celebration by making their own bird feeders. The class read The Winter Bird, which explains how some birds don’t migrate and must stay through the cold winter, learning to find food in harsh conditions. The story also teaches a great lesson about adapting to change, something these first graders are learning every day. 🐦❄️

Trout update from Mr. Amanatides and Mr. Fosstveit's MS classroom! The trout are growing fast, and so are students’ science skills. Students are tracking the trout population by dividing the tank into three sections and counting fish to estimate population size—real science in action! 💡
In October, students welcomed 200 Brown trout eggs into their classroom for the year. Students closely monitor water temperature, water clarity, dissolved oxygen, ammonia levels and pH to ensure the trouts' survival. Students experience the connections between trout, water resources, the environment, and themselves. The trout will be released into the wild in the spring months. More updates to follow! 🐟✨
