Carmelo Mendez set the school 7th grade shot put record. He not only broke it but shattered it by 11.5 inches, and the previous record stood for 20 years! Way to go Carmelo!
Mrs. Henderson's TAG students visited Simpson Home Independent Living Facility, where students and residents had time for visiting and learning about each other, playing Uno, and enjoying good company!
Thank you, Nurse Katie, for every bandage, every hug, every kind word, and the countless ways you care for our Middle School Comets. You make school a safer, kinder place, and we’re sorry this post came late! #schoolnursesday
