🚀🔍 Suspicion is Among Us! 🔍🚀
Students in Ms. Higginbotham's ELAR classes dove into the theme of suspicion through an exciting science fiction short story. To bring the concept to life, they played an Among Us–style game—experiencing firsthand how quickly suspicion can spread in a group. What a fun and memorable way to connect literature with real-world behavior!

Because STAAR success is a team effort! Our amazing art students are jumping into math STAAR prep—because every classroom can make a difference! 6th graders created multiplication charts, 7th graders tackled sales tax practice, and 8th graders worked on perfecting their brain dump strategies. Way to go!
🌟 Just a Little STAAR Review! 🌟
Mrs. Rhoden’s 3rd period class is shining bright today with a star-powered review session!
They’re brushing up on their skills and showing off all they’ve learned — way to go, scholars! 💪📚 #StarStudents
🧮💻Even in a Technology class, we’re helping our math team gear up for ⭐️STAAR⭐️!
Today, students battled it out in a fast-paced Math Wars game—solving 28 math problems and checking answers with Mrs. Young. If they got it right, their name went up on the board. But here’s the twist… if another student solved the same problem correctly, they could erase the name and claim the spot!
Fun, competitive, and full of brainpower—Math + Tech = STAAR Success!
Even in the dark, SMS teachers kept teaching and students kept learning. Nothing can dim our shine! ✨ #SMSProud #LightsOutLearning #Dedication"
