Attention baseball parents! On August 21st at 6:00 p.m. there will be a baseball parent meeting at Mills University Studies High School. Coach Flowers will host this meeting in his classroom which is 3103, and he will be sharing very important about the upcoming season!

Students in Ms. Turnage's technical theater classes took part in a building activity this week where they worked to build a bridge that would hold the weight of a book with only 40 toothpicks and 10 mini- marshmallows. Who doesn't love a hands-on competitive challenge?!?

Students in Ms. Jackson's AVID classes were working on building their relational capacity today! Some of the most important skills we want students to learn include making eye contact, speaking clearly, and being comfortable in social situations. This activity checked all of those boxes! Ask your student about their first day of school activities that they did today and see what you find out.
