Our second graders have been learning about neurod

Our second graders have been learning about neurodiversity and how everyone needs different things to do our best learning. They learned about areas of the brain where different skills and learning take place (check out their amazing brain hats). They read "A Kid's Book About Neurodiversity" and then explored how individual needs can vary from one person to another. A bingo-style survey provided opportunity for both self reflection and interpersonal understanding. Students read through a bingo board containing a variety of statements about diverse ways of experiencing the world and checked off the squares that felt true for them personally before polling their peers. Options included statements such as:
- learn better when you can fidget
- hate the way socks feel on your feet
- do not like loud noises
- can focus with music on

The lesson has provided the students with a shared understanding what individuals in their classroom community may be experiencing or needing at different times. These kids are growing kindness and empathy while building a culture of belonging. 💜

With the longest night of the Winter Solstice behi

With the longest night of the Winter Solstice behind us and a return of light ahead, we wish you and your loved ones a winter break full of joy and rest. May it bring opportunities for reflection, hope, and inner peace. ❤❤❤

Please enjoy these images from our Winter Solstice spiral. The Winter Solstice spiral is a quiet, meditative ritual that symbolizes going into the darkness and emerging with the light. Each participant walks a spiral path alone to light a candle at the center to then place it along the spiral on their way out. Students could also elect to place a natural object along the path in place of a light. The spiral honors the Winter Solstice, while also representing the journey of finding one's inner light amidst the darkness and the promise of the returning light... a beautiful mix of both the spiritual and natural domains.

Wintry Friday afternoons are a perfect time to dip

Wintry Friday afternoons are a perfect time to dip into specialized clubs! Seventh and eighth grade students spend a few weeks diving deep into chess, crafting, digital music creation, and Battle of the Books. These enrichment clubs provide students with opportunities to explore new interests or dive deeper into their current hobbies while growing skills within the creative, mental, and social domains.

It's Throwback Thursday!

Since today is our annual Winter Music Program, we thought we'd look backwards to the same event from 2009. This was before we acquired our Omega Middle School property and when we held our school concerts at other venues, including Lipinsky Auditorium at UNCA. We are so grateful to now have a space on campus where our community can come together in celebration of music and joy.

Be on the lookout over winter break for photos and snippets shared from our 2025 Winter Music Program! Do you recognize any of these cuties from the past?
