Our 7th graders made lemonade in a bag to explore solutes, solvents, concentration, and dilution. 🖤❤️ Hands-on learning never tasted so good!

Today we’re celebrating 6th grader, Ty, a Falcon who showed the power of empathy—taking time to understand, care, and support others. 🖤❤️

Being empathetic makes our campus stronger and kinder, and Ty's actions are a perfect reminder that lifting others up is what being a Falcon is all about. 🦅✨
