Sheldon Middle School sixth graders have been studying organ systems in science class. After learning about the digestive system, they completed a hands-on project that simulated the entire digestive process. Starting with a “bite” of cracker and banana, students followed the food’s journey through the stomach, into the intestines, and finally through excretion—bringing their learning to life in a memorable and interactive way.

Get ready—the Scholastic Book Fair is coming to our school!

This is a great opportunity to connect with your child over the thrill of bringing home new books to dive into again and again. Studies show that kids read more when they choose books for themselves. And fostering a love of independent reading leads to a wide variety of benefits—including academic success and improved mental health.
