Our 3rd, 4th, & 5th graders are running the PACER (Progressive Aerobic Cardiovascular Endurance Run) Test this week. PACER is a fitness test used to measure how efficiently the heart and lungs work during physical activity. A special shout out to the students pictured. They showed up voluntarily to see if they could beat their best PACER score. This shows the great dedication that our students have to be physically and mentally better! Great job Rockets!

Miss Stacy's Forensic Science class engaged in an exciting unit on Tire Impressions! Thanks to the incredible generosity of our staff, students took tire track prints from various cars to compare the prints to the actual tires and hone their observation and comparison skills. To deepen their understanding, they took a closer look at a school bus, examining the differences between car and bus tires. Mrs. Wheeler even explained why bus tires vary from front to back, adding valuable real-world insight to the lesson. It was a hands-on, engaging experience that truly brought forensic science to life! #smalldistrictbigthings #RocketPride
