Congratulations to the engineering team
The engineering team competed in a competition on March 7th in Tallahassee. Before arriving at the competition they had to submit a 1000 word essay that would be factored into the overall results. It was also judged separately, they received 1st place for their essay in the state!
There were three parts to the competition, they had a multiple-choice math test, an engineering design & build, and the essay.
The team took 2nd place in the state! I am beyond proud of them. They also ranked about 34th in the nation.

Listen to the Purple Up video message here
April is recognized nationally as the Month of the Military Child, where we honor the sacrifices of our military children and recognize the unique challenges of their lives.
During April, Purple Up Day is used as a day to hold programs and events in honor of military children. Wearing the color purple is a visible way to show support and thank military youth for their strength and sacrifices. Why purple? Purple is the color that symbolizes all branches of the military, as it is a combination of Army green, Marine Red, and Coast Guard, Air Force, and Navy blue. The goal of “Purple Up!” is for military youth to actually SEE the support in their school, youth groups, and the community!
Nationally, Purple Up! Day is celebrated on 24 April.
Congratulations A. Johnson and K. Colley for receiving the 2020 Middle School All County Award for Soccer.
