Our 9th-12th grade high school students just finished a lively unit on the Pop Art Movement, specifically studying Romero Britto to celebrate Latin American heritage. They applied key characteristics like repetitions and bold colors to create their own Pop Art paintings, transforming everyday imagery into vibrant artwork. Many students personalized their projects by representing the popular things they love, such as favorite sport teams, music artists, TV shows, and drinks. The resulting art is a dynamic, graphic showcase of contemporary culture as seen through the lens of a classic, joyful art style. Take a closer look to their projects: https://sites.google.com/view/mrstassler/pop-art-hs

Last week, the 6th grade class was handed "bus tickets" when they got to English Language Arts. We're riding the Energy Bus by reading the book, completing language activities, and reflecting on and discussing ideas in the book. Today the class did a "Thank You Walk"- an idea from the book. They walked the hallway and thought about the positive aspects and things they're thankful for in their lives.

Book club met this morning! We enjoyed a lively discussion about the books we're reading and enjoyed delicious muffins brought by Tatum. Thankful for these readers! Next Book Club will be December 17th. Come join us!

Congratulations to our basketball workout gift card winners! This year we gave away five $100 gift cards as part of our offseason basketball incentive program. Players earned tickets all summer and fall by putting in work—each time a player completed a basketball workout, they filled out a ticket. During summer open gyms, the team with the most wins each day earned an extra ticket for every player on that team. At the end of the program, all tickets were placed into a random drawing, and we pulled five tickets today to determine our winners. This years winners were Hudson Barber, Jackson Paxton, Jett Yackley, Easton Moore, and Wesley Wittler. Our goal was to emphasize hard work, dedication, competing, and winning, and our kids rose to the challenge. These tickets brought a ton of players into the gym, pushing each other and improving their game. A huge thank-you goes to the generous donor who provided the gift cards. Your support made a tremendous impact, and we truly appreciate you. We plan to continue this program next year. If you are interested in sponsoring a gift card or supporting our offseason work in any way, please reach out to Coach White. We’re excited about the season ahead and committed to getting better every single day. #ROLLCHAR
