🤖 Coding, creativity, and STEM fun!

Our STEM classes are exploring the exciting world of coding with Mr. Bauer and Ozobot robots! Students are learning how to program their tiny robots, create pathways, solve problems, and bring their coding skills to life.

It's hands-on learning, teamwork, and a whole lot of fun as our students discover just how much they can do with technology!

Way to go, Crimson Tide!

Our Columbia Middle School – Taylor Campus students enjoyed a special reading opportunity at St. John's Herr Estate!

Students spent time reading, sharing books, and practicing their reading skills with the residents. From reading aloud to discussing the stories and illustrations, our students had the chance to build confidence, strengthen their literacy skills, and share their love of reading.

Reading is even more meaningful when it can be shared with others! ❤️

🍂🥗 What better way to spend a beautiful fall day than in the garden?! 🌱🍅

Students from Mrs. Williams’ class rolled up their sleeves and harvested fresh vegetables from our garden to prepare a delicious Israeli salad!

🔍 Before getting started, students used magnifying glasses to investigate the structures of tomatoes and peppers right in the garden. They then chopped their freshly harvested vegetables and turned them into a tasty, garden-to-table treat!

🌿 The best part? Getting to enjoy the fruits (and veggies!) of their labor! Our students had a wonderful time exploring, learning, and tasting their harvest. What a delicious way to connect science, nature, and healthy eating! 🍅🫑💚
