November is National Career Development Month, and our high school kicked things off early with an unforgettable visit coordinated by Ms. Rush! 🇺🇸
We were honored to welcome Sergeant Toby Lucas of the United States Marine Corps to campus. Throughout the day, Sgt. Lucas:
🥁 Met with our Percussion and Band classes to share career paths in the Marine Corps bands
🎓 Connected with students during lunch to discuss post-grad career and educational opportunities
🏋️♂️ Led PE 9 and 10 through physical fitness exercises while highlighting the core values of leadership, discipline, and teamwork
Shoutout to Mrs. Crockett for stepping up and taking on the pull-up challenge! 👏

This month, West Point Public Schools is focusing on gratitude and compassion. Taking time to appreciate the people and positive things in our lives helps students develop a greater sense of connection, empathy, and respect for others.
Through social-emotional learning (SEL), students can build habits that strengthen relationships and create a more positive school community.
A little gratitude goes a long way. Together, let's help every Pointer recognize and appreciate the good around them!

National School Psychology Week is a great reminder that students and families do not have to navigate challenges alone! School psychologists can provide support for concerns related to mental health, behavior, and academic success.
Whether a challenge is big or small, reaching out for guidance can be an important first step.

🌱🧬 Life Science Fun!
Our Life Science students got hands-on with plant cells by creating their very own plant cell models using Play-Doh! 🎨
As they built their models, students reviewed the different parts of a plant cell and discussed the important job each organelle does to keep the cell functioning.
From the cell wall to the nucleus, students brought science to life in a colorful and creative way! 🌿
Learning science is even more fun when you can get your hands on it! 💚
