Intermediate School

We hope your week is filled with good food, big laughs, and naps so long you forget what day it is. Enjoy the break, Panthers! 🙂 Also… 👀 Just a friendly reminder that we’re only 34 days away from Christmas. Time to warm up those jingle bells! 🎄

Earlier this week, Ms. Wilson’s 5th graders brought learning to life by illustrating idioms with chalk on the backside of our building! 🎨 It was an engaging, hands-on lesson that helped students deepen their understanding of figurative language—all while soaking up some sunshine before the rain rolled in! #Limitless

Leopards Team students in Ms. Smith's Language Arts class are reading, A Wrinkle in Time, as a class. Students are tracking their reading and can choose to simply read it or listen as they read the book. #ssis #panthernation 🐾❤️

Thank you to all our amazing VETERANS! We cannot express how much we appreciate your service and sacrifice! ❤️🤍💙 #ssis #PantherNation

6th grade students started their introduction to Ancient Greece by testing the strength of paper columns. Groups had to plan and test their columns by adding their Social Studies textbooks to the top. Students were amazed by how much weight columns can hold. #ssis #PantherNation 🐾❤️💪
