Our 4th graders put their engineering skills to the test this week with a classic Egg Drop Challenge! Each student was tasked with designing their own protective system to keep a raw egg safe during a fall from ladder height.
Working independently, students
🥚 Selected their materials
🥚 Planned and built their designs
🥚 Presented their ideas to the school
🥚 Made predictions about whether their egg would survive the big drop
Today, the whole school watched as each design took the plunge!
We’re so proud of our young engineers for their hard work, creativity, and problem-solving. Great job, 4th grade!

We had a special visit from Ms. Amanda with the TCHD (Tazewell County Health Department)! She gave our K-2 students an engaging presentation on the importance of good hygiene and handwashing.
Using a glow light activity, we got to see just how easily germs can spread and how well (or not so well!) we’re washing our hands. It was a fun and eye-opening lesson that reminded everyone how small actions can make a big difference in keeping our school healthy!
