One more from Area track!...Girls 1600m
Our 6th, 7th, and 8th graders have been learning in so many fun and creative ways. Mrs. Koenning brought in excitement through games, while Mrs. Solano stole their brains with stations and candy! Then, our very own pharmacist, Mrs. Wilburn, grabbed their attention with creativity in science!
If you didn’t know, these kiddos took their first STAAR test yesterday. These pictures are just one example of the hard work put in by our staff and students, which drives our amazing academic outcomes.
It's a great day to be a Bearkat!
5th Grade reading is revving up for the STAAR with turbo-charged excitement!
Our students are zooming through a STAAR Kart race, where scoring 80% or above gives their kart a shiny new star! They're racing full throttle and having a blast along the way! And guess what? There’s a twist—students have a power-up sheet to unleash their inner speed demons! From zipping into first place, launching a sneaky red shell, to swiping an item, it's a wild ride! Plus, we revved up the fun with a STAARbucks pit stop! Our little racers enjoyed chocolate milk topped with whipped cream and a sweet treat while they hit the books!
We know they rocked their test today!
Our 3rd, 4th, and 5th graders had a blast relaxing and recharging before STAAR testing season. Way to go, Kats!

Mrs. Brinkley's math classes are competing in a "Colorwar Countdown Challenge" in order to review for our upcoming math Staar test.
Students spin a random wheel to determine which review category they will be working on, which also randomly places them either on their own, with a partner or small group. Students have 10 minutes to work on the coinciding task cards. After 10 minutes, the fun starts all over as students re-spin for a new category and a new group. Once a student finishes a category AND makes a 100%, they get to fill in a space on the Colorwar Countdown Board! It's a race amongst classmates as well as a race against classes, all while promoting accuracy over speed- a little of both will ensure the win! Stuck on a question? Don't worry- each student received a list of 'life lines' : Ask Mrs. Brinkley x 2, Sneak a Peek at the Answer Sheet, Freebie, Phone a Friend and I'll Make it Right! With a little support, I'm certain we'll all master the review material.

It was the very first year for our school to have a SkillsUSA program and we had an amazing run! We had 6 state qualifiers in leadership events and half of them made it across the stage which is truly incredible. There were over 8,000 students from 6th grade to college who were competitors at this event! We also had many students qualify with their job exhibits for Culinary Arts and received many compliments and awards! Projects rated Superior received a Blue Rosette, Excellent a Red Rosette, and Very Good a White Rosette.
I couldn’t be more proud of the work that went into creating these projects and documentation, practicing speeches, and trying all of these new things. I think we all saw projects that blew our minds and have SO MANY more ideas for next year!
SkillsUSA definitely noticed the Bearkats this year! - Mrs. Gunkel
