🎃 What a pumpkin-spiced perfect day for our Little Sprouts! 🚜🍂
Our PreK classes had the absolute best time visiting the pumpkin patch! From going on a scenic hayride out into the crisp fall air to picking out the most perfect pumpkins, our little ones made so many sweet autumn memories. We also enjoyed a fun and educational learning session inside the barn!
A huge thank you to all of our amazing chaperones, families, and staff who joined us and helped make this field trip so special! ❤️

💙 Bullying Prevention Month is here! 💙
Throughout the month, our school counselors are partnering with classes across the building to highlight bullying prevention strategies, promote positive communication, and build a kinder, more supportive school community.
One activity we’re excited about is “The Ripple Effect” 🌊—a chance for students to encourage one another and see how one small act of kindness can create a wave of positivity!
Let’s spread encouragement, kindness, and respect—one ripple at a time! 💙✨

🌤️ Learning Beyond the Classroom! 🌿
Mr. Johnson’s Environmental Science students headed outside on Friday to observe and record qualitative weather data. They then compared their observations with quantitative data collected from our mobile weather station. 📊🌡️

Every day at school is a chance to learn something new, strengthen friendships, and stay connected with teachers and classmates!
As even a few missed days can add up, families can help students build strong attendance habits by planning ahead, creating consistent routines, and making school a priority.
Let’s keep our Pointers showing up and ready to learn! 💪

🧪🔬 Science in Action!
In 6th grade science, students completed a lab to look for evidence of chemical changes. Students observed different reactions and recorded what they noticed, looking for signs such as color changes, gas being produced, temperature changes, or the formation of a new substance. They then used their observations to decide whether a chemical change had taken place. Learning science by doing! 🧡💙 #WPPointers

Science 8 students had a busy week of hands-on learning! They solved mystery elements, built Bohr models, investigated slides under microscopes, and built circuits to determine which mystery samples were metals. 🔍💡

🔬 Bringing Biology to Life in 7th Grade Life Science! 🧫✨
Mrs. Gibbs' scientists spent time stepping into the shoes of bio-engineers recently. Students created 3D models of living organisms and then conducted peer reviews with a partner—evaluating each model to verify that it represented the Characteristics of Life (from cellular organization to energy intake, homeostasis, and more!). 🧬🌱
We loved seeing our students engage in high-level scientific discourse, evaluating model limitations, and sharing thoughtful "Glow and Grow" feedback! 🌟💬

Missing just two days of school each month can add up to 10% of the school year—or about 18 days.
That lost time can affect academic progress at any age, from early learning through high school. Showing up consistently helps students stay connected, confident, and ready to succeed.
If you need support, reach out to your child’s school office. Every day in the classroom matters! 🤝

⚔️📖Mr. McCallister’s juniors headed to Historic Jamestown for a day of exploration and learning! Mrs. Romero and Mrs. Lohr tagged along for the adventure.
Students had the opportunity to learn from West Point resident Mark Summers, an author and historian who serves as the Educational Director of Youth and Public Programs for Jamestown Rediscovery. Mark shared his extensive knowledge of Jamestown’s history before students toured the site and continued exploring and learning firsthand!

I wanted to share some fun pictures of our little Pointers participating in the Tour de Crab on Friday! 🦀
The West Point Combined PTO hosted this wonderful event with support from the West Point Chamber of Commerce. We are so thankful that our NHS students and several of our cheerleaders were able to assist with this special tradition.
This year, we also opened a few volunteer opportunities to some very responsible middle schoolers, and we couldn’t be more pleased with their help. It was wonderful to see our students of all ages step up and give back to our community.
We are so proud to be a part of the Pointer community! 💙🧡
