Today we’re celebrating Coffee with a Cop Day!

We so fortunate to have Officer Morningstar as part of our school community! Days like today are a great reminder of the importance of building positive relationships, creating connections, and getting to know the people behind the badge.

Our office crew was happy to grab a cup of coffee and spend a little time with our favorite SRO this morning! 💙💛

Students in Mr. Torrence's 6th Grade Social Studies class got the opportunity to explore basic economics. Students designed a pair of shoes, set a price, and then experienced "Supply and Demand" as their classmates shopped with the $500 they were given. Students had to make choices with their money and also discussed what influences demand on products in the real world.
