Happy New Year from The Challenger Staff! We hope everyone has a safe New Year!! We will see all students back in class on January 7th!!

This week, Mrs. Busby’s 6th grade social studies classes took their teamwork skills to the next level by hosting Minute to Win It activities for 3rd and 4th grade classes! After learning about the power of collaboration and teamwork in their own studies, our 6th graders stepped up as leaders, creating fun and challenging activities to share these valuable lessons with younger students. It was a joy to watch the energy, laughter, and collaboration fill the room as students of all ages worked together to conquer the clock. Great job, 6th graders, for being such fantastic leaders and role models!
