“Amazing, hardworking and kind,” is how Mrs. Fyza Reid describes the students of The North Main Newspaper Club. Under the direction of Mrs. Reid, this group of dedicated fourth and fifth graders meet every Friday morning before school to plan coverage of the many great events happening at North Main Elementary.
The students' dedication was recently acknowledged at a celebratory breakfast. This event, organized by Mrs. Reid, Editor Santino Lajara, and Assistant Editor Jax Vigo, included the presentation of special "press passes" to the students.
Excellent job, Crusaders! 📰🗞️

Students in Mrs. Collins class at CVE are officially published authors! Over the past few weeks, these Crusaders have been researching a person of influence they were interested in. Through an organization called Student Treasures, Mrs. Collins was able to submit their work and get it published. The students showcased their hard work with a special publishing party, where they proudly presented their books to invited guests, including their families and Superintendent Norman. Congratulations! 📚🤩
Our STARS have done it again! Their latest visit with fifth graders at Central Valley Elementary was a huge success. Under a banner that reminded everyone, “This is a positive thinking area,” the STARS reinforced their core values with a captive audience. Way to go! 💜🤩

The MWMS sixth-grade orchestra, under the direction of orchestra and music production teacher, Ms. Mika Leonard, had an exciting experience during spring break. Crusaders participated in a practice session with Mrs. E’lissa Jones Maynard, a local music teacher, violinist, singer, and songwriter. While encouraging students to pursue their dreams, Mrs. Maynard also shared valuable performing tips. Students learned a "secret recipe" for improvisation solos as well as techniques for enhancing stage presence. Great takeaways to put into practice for the upcoming spring concerts!🎼🎻

Before the break, MWMS math teachers Ms. Gower and Ms. Beneat held a "Spring Recess Sprint" for eighth graders. In small groups, students participated by finding hidden eggs in the recess area, containing either a piece of candy or a math problem.
If the egg held a math problem, the team solved it collaboratively, had it approved by a teacher, and a new student searched for the next egg. If it held candy, a new student immediately searched for the next egg. A bunny was even spotted, encouraging everyone to "hop to it!"🐰✖️➗
