Middle School students in computer science class are working on designing an app of their choice. Students had to come up with an app idea, reasons why the app would be useful, as well as what features the app would have. Students then will be sharing their app idea in a presentation for the rest of the class to learn more about it.

The 6th graders did an amazing job with their Night of the Notables presentations!
6th graders researched a famous person from the past and presented the information to those that attended the Night of the Notables. People could stop by a notable person, played by the 6th grader, where they would then share information about their life.
Thanks to the 6th graders and teachers for putting on such a great event.

Night of the Notables will be Tuesday, April 11 from 7-8 PM at the Middle School.
Night of the Notables is an event where the 6th grade students share their presentations on notable people in history. This is also a fundraising event, as people give them a quarter, students will then share their presentation. This money goes to help fund the 6th grade field trip.
The students are excited to share their presentations with the public tomorrow night.
