Here’s a *cool* experiment. Our 6th grade science students conducted a cold cup test with a fancy cup and a regular cup to see which was better at keeping the water cold. Measurements were taken every ten minutes to see how much the temperature had either changed or stayed the same. Fancy cup FTW!

This week in Ms. Aishman’s FACS classes, we tackled stress head-on! Students got real about what stresses them out and designed their very own stress-busting game plans. From personalized strategies to creative coping skills, they’re now stress-management pros! To top it all off, they channeled their inner artist and chilled out by making some amazing, stress-relieving mosaics. Way to go, everyone—relaxation has never looked so good!😎




🎃 It’s Friday the 13th, but there’s nothing scary about algebra in Ms. Cooper's class! 💀 Some might fear fractions, but not the kids at SHMS! Principal Hudgeons is in his element today, stepping in and teaching with 100% student engagement and making algebra a blast. Whether it’s solving equations or cracking codes, our students are mastering the math magic with confidence. 🧙♂️ It’s a great day to be a Bear, where even algebra can’t haunt us! 🐻 #FearlessMath #AlgebraAdventure #SHMSBears #FridayThe13thFun
