Mrs. Cattell and Mrs. Webster have collaborated this week to teach 6th grade scientists about natural resources and synthetic materials. Students explored creating synthetic materials from natural materials. They used sodium alginate (seaweed) and calcium chloride (limestone), combined them to create a synthetic polymer “worm.”

6th period enrichment wrapped up the nine weeks with book projects to showcase the novels they read in their literature circles. Holes created a diorama, the Giver created a Monopoly game, Hatchet created a board game, City of Ember made a board game, and the Unteachables made a basketball game with questions from their book. The projects encouraged communication and collaboration skills, and each student helped to present their project to the class, allowing them to work on public speaking skills. This has been a great way to get kids to enjoy sharing what they read. Students are already talking about their next book based on the presentations!










Students in Mrs. Cattell’s Agriculture class have been hard at work shucking fresh sweet corn for our school cafeteria!
We love seeing our Bulldogs get hands-on learning experiences while helping out right here at McKell Middle School!
And the best part? Fresh sweet corn will be on the cafeteria menu this week!
Just another example of our Bulldogs learning, working together, and making a difference!










Every Day Matters, Bulldogs!
We’re moving in the right direction! Our attendance this week was 92.3%, bringing us a little closer to our weekly goal of 94% or higher!
Every day counts, and every student matters! Being at school gives our Bulldogs opportunities to learn, grow, build friendships, and succeed.
Thank you to our families for helping make attendance a priority. Let’s keep building on this progress and push toward that 94% goal!
Be Here. Be Ready. BELIEVE.
Bulldogs LEAD. Bulldogs SUCCEED. Bulldogs BELIEVE!

Pink Out Day at MMS!!
The weather may not have cooperated with our plans today, but that didn’t stop our Bulldogs from showing their support!
Unfortunately, we weren’t able to make it onto the football field for our annual Pink Ribbon formation. However, we wanted to make sure that every student who came dressed in pink had the opportunity to be part of a special photo!
While things didn’t go exactly as planned, we are proud of our students and staff for coming together to show their support for Breast Cancer Awareness Month.
Sometimes plans change, but the meaning behind what we do stays the same!

Our attendance this week was 91.7%, just shy of our weekly goal of 94% or higher!
We know our Bulldogs can reach that goal, but it takes all of us working together! Every day at school is an opportunity to learn something new, build relationships, and grow toward success.
Thank you to our families for making attendance a priority. Let's work together to get back above 94% next week!
