What's New!

Congratulations to our Disney Planet Challenge ALABAMA STATE CHAMPIONS: Ms. Chris and her seventh and eighth graders! The aim of the challenge was to do something to improve our environment so they worked diligently with experts at Auburn and the community to restore our pond. Read more about their research and work in the newsletter. We are very proud of our students and how they work together to solve problems!

In fact, this is our second Alabama State Championship this year! Our 4th-8th Eggo My Lego Team also won the Alabama State Championship for Inspiration at the Lego Robotics tournament in Huntsville. What an exciting year we have had! Come enjoy the last weeks of soccer games at all ages!

Congratulations are also in order for our preschool teachers! They have been evaluated by external AMS supervisors and according the report, our preschool students are “learning at high levels in all areas, internally motivated, able to work independently, and demonstrate the utmost respect for each other.” With such a foundation, it is no wonder our students are gaining state recognitions.

Our International Festival and auction, sponsored by the PTO, will be a school-wide event on May 5th. Please make plans to attend and bring your family and friends. If you were not able to attend last year, please talk with someone who was because it was fabulous!

April always takes our 8th graders to the Montessori Model United Nations in New York City where they spend three days negotiating with other student ambassadors. Meanwhile, our seventh graders will be working and learning in various businesses for their Workshop Workforce. The middle school students are also busy planning their spring class trip to Oregon and Washington.

Lastly, Congratulations to our Upper Elementary students for a successful science fair where teachers, students, and parents enjoyed learning the answers to some interesting hypotheses. Also, please be sure to come by and see the Lower Elementary students’ Ancient Egyptian projects on display in the JSB Library.
