Enota's Second Graders research Mammals
In Ms. Sanders' second grade class at Enota MI Academy, students studied mammals, their life cycles, and characteristics. Ms. Sanders' students began their research projects on mammals of their choosing. They visited the library to check out books on the animals and filled in their graphic organizers with information that they had read. Students then divided into pairs to try out Enota's new technology which included iPads and Chrome books. Students completed their research by creating posters to present to the class. It was a fun project for the students, and they loved using their new technology devices to find their research!

Mastering Math and Science at Centennial
At Centennial Arts Academy, fifth grade students are participating in Number Talks each morning in Miss Dodd and Mrs. Turk's math class. They enjoy learning about the most efficient way to find mental math answers that can help them.
In Miss Dodd's fifth grade science class, students are learning about cells and microscopes. Interestingly, when a fellow classmate lost his tooth, students decided to take a look at it under the microscope. Of course, they are now eager to explore more unusual objects under the microscope.
One thing for sure, these students are enjoying their math and science classes and are having fun mastering both of these subjects.

GHS Seniors receive Eagle Scout Medals
|
|
| Bill Hood and Marshall Scott |
Bill Hood and Marshall Scott were awarded their Eagle Scout medals on August 16 at Gainesville First Methodist Church. They are seniors at Gainesville High School. The Eagle Scout rank is the highest achievement attainable in the Boy Scouting program of the Boy Scouts of America. The designation "Eagle Scout" has a long history since its founding over one hundred years ago. A Scout who attains this rank is part of a very small percentage of Boy Scouts (4%), and the requirements take years to fulfill. Congratulations, Bill and Marshall, on this outstanding accomplishment!
