Here are the 2026-2027 basketball schedules. Both our teams kicked off their seasons with wins on Saturday in the Sandoval Shootout! Let's go Panthers!

Dear Parents and Guardians,

Our 8th graders are putting their science skills to work by designing and creating their own vending machines! As part of this project, students are applying what they have learned about position, motion, energy, and forces to build machines that can dispense treats.

On October 29, we will be inviting all the school to come “trick-or-treat” and try out the vending machines our students have created!

We are asking for donations of small, individually wrapped candies to help fill the vending machines. To give you an idea on candy sizes that would be great include Tootsie Rolls, small Laffy Taffy, or small Nerds. Any donation, big or small, would be greatly appreciated and will help make this project a fun and memorable experience for our students and their visitors.

If you are able to donate, please send candy to school with your student before October 29.

Thank you for supporting our classroom and helping us make learning fun, creative, and hands-on! We appreciate your generosity!

Sincerely,
8th Grade Science
