Today was the last day of first quarter electives Today was the last day of first quarter electives for our Omega Middle School students and they treated us to an amazing showcase of the work they did in their elective classes. Here are just a few highlights from the electives showcase that included a student podcast (Podcasting Elective), a beautiful new cover to protect our fire pit (Creating Sacred Spaces Elective), a new mural installation (Drawing and Painting Elective), examples of work from the Elements of Art Elective, creative and fun game designs (Board Games Elective), a song and skit about The Hero's Journey (Foundations Elective), and a mini concert (Rock Band Elective). We can't wait to see what these kids do in their upcoming quarter two electives!

They begin each school day with a land acknowledgement that we would like to share with you for Indigenous People's Day along with some photos of our beautiful campus and students connecting with the land that holds our community. 

"We would like to acknowledge that we live and learn on the traditional land of the Cherokee, who have taken care of this land for generations.  We pay respect to their elders both past and present."

When our second graders get an idea, they figure o When our second graders get an idea, they figure out how to make it happen!

These little entrepreneurs wanted a mud kitchen for their outdoor classroom so they spent time drawing blue prints to share with our Facilities Team, who were happy to help. Our second graders supervised the building process, offering additional suggestions along the way. They have been overjoyed to put the finished kitchen to good use - not only do these kids know how to make a delicious caterpillar roll from mud and leaves, but they also show some savvy business skills with their pricing and customer service. Where else can you get sushi rolls in exchange for shiny rocks or leaves?!

Shout out to Facilities Team, Shaun and Eddie, for making their vision a reality!

Omega 7/8 science students have been learning how Omega 7/8 science students have been learning how to collect meaningful data and are studying chemistry through the lens of plants, soil, and food science! Over the last few weeks they investigated our garden crops and harvested native aronia berries, used refractometers to test the Brix, tested the pH, and finally made aronia berry syrup. Check out these scientists in action!
