May is Mental Health Awareness Month—a time to recognize that mental health matters every day and that support is always available. We’re committed to fostering a community where students, staff, and families feel seen, supported, and heard. Together, we can continue building a community where it’s okay to not always be okay—and where no one has to go through it alone. 💚

7th graders had a job....to design and build a microscope. They had to problem solve how to create a microscope with two hand lenses, using the high and low power lens, and to make it easily adjustable. They did a fantastic job!

Mrs. Flaten and team enjoyed a water wonderland at the Duluth Aquarium yesterday!🐟🐢🐠 Shout out to the Spartan Booster Club for helping make it happen! 🧡💙 Students had fun on the bus ride doing scavenger hunts, telling stories, and singing songs🎶🎵 At the aquarium they explored water machines, touched jelly fish and sturgeon and viewed fish, turtles, otters and eels in their natural habitats. The day was filled with learning and laughs! We highly recommend you visit😊

Here is another example of a camera technique from the Media Literacy class. A "pull out shot" is used to detach the audience from a scene or character. It is often used at the end of a movie to slowly release the viewer back to the real world. In this particular shot, it adds to a character's isolation, lonliness or helplessness--especially if it's paired with the right music.
