1st Grade's Butterflies Take Flight!
First grade spent the last few weeks expanding on their NGSS standards and learning about the life cycle of butterflies. We started with caterpillars that grew and grew and morphed into their third chrysalis stage. We patiently waited through their chrysalis stage and watched in awe as they hatched into beautiful butterflies just in time to share with our families at Spring Fling! Today we spent the morning releasing them into our Friendship Garden where they can continue the life cycle. If you’re lucky you may catch one flutter your way!

McCabe Orchestra Spring Concert
On the evening of May 1st, middle school orchestra students from around the Valley performed at Southwest High School. It was the first of what we hope to be an annual concert which gives all middle school orchestra students a chance to work together in rehearsal and a final concert. This is a great outreach to students to encourage them to continue in orchestra to help build the programs in each of these schools as well as eventually strengthen the overall SHS orchestra program. The schools that participated, in addition to the McCabe's Advanced Orchestra were Wilson, Kennedy, Heber and De Anza. Click the heading above for pictures of the evening's event.)

GATE Students Host Game Night!
On the evening of April 19th, Mr. Arevalo’s GATE students debuted their original cardboard games to their parents and administration. These games took months of planning, collaborating with their partners, and engaging in the design process to complete. All of the games involved engineering and trial-and-error processes. After presenting their games, students invited their parents to play them. It was such a fun evening where everyone got to unwind and play some epic student-created games!
