"Congratulations to all of 6^th Grade, winners of the Healthy Choices, Healthy Eating Challenge!

This fall, Miss Rachel, our School Dietician, visited all Upper School classrooms enlightening students with Healthy Choices, Healthy Eating tips:

• Make Mindful, Healthy Choices: Students learned about being aware of their surroundings, their thoughts and feelings when faced with making some tough choices.

• Choose Variety the MyPlate Way: Miss Rachel shared an overview of the five food groups, and students were able to articulate the important nutrients in each group, learning the value of eating a variety of foods

• Rise & Dine Students were encouraged to eat breakfast every day, and they shared some reasons why breakfast is a good idea, as well as some consequences of skipping that important first meal.

• Slow Down on Sweets Students learned about the presence of Added Sugars in many foods and why it's a good idea to pay attention (be mindful!) to those foods, most commonly found in their drinks

• Rethink Your Drink Students were encourage to Rethink some of those Drinks: Miss Rachel demonstrated just how much Added Sugar is in some commonly consumed beverages…they were shocked!

• Be Active Your Way: Rounding out each session, students learned about and shared benefits of activity and movement throughout the day. Miss Rachel shared some quick, simple ways to move during any day, including the school day

During their last week of science, the graduating 8th grade class took on the timeless challenge of fragile egg verses the relentless force of gravity! In Mr. Santana's Egg Drop Challenge 2024, the students had one class period to design, and one class period to build a design model that could withstand the plunge of over 20-feet! Here are some of the student projects, their egg designs, and the results!

"The students learned about important physics concepts such as forces, air resistance (drag), impact, and momentum."

The students learned about important physics concepts such as forces, air resistance (drag), impact, and momentum. They also learned engineering concepts through building thoughtful designs that included padding, parachutes or propellers, and other cool scientific ideas! They also got to work in teams and work on their collaboration skills. Most of our teams survived the fateful fall from the STEM center roof, with just a few teams cracking under the pressure. Overall, it was a blast both for the students and for the teacher. It's safe to say the Class of 2024 will definitely remember the excitement of Mr. Santana's Egg Drop 2024!
