Challenge Center third graders worked on the focus question, "What is the best design for a top?" They considered where to place a disk on the axis, how to rotate the top, and how to make it spin best. Then they observed the path of the top they designed.
Mark your calendars! SFSD students will be on President's Break next week, so it's a great time to take in some fun at Air Madness to support Operation Hope and Caring! Levo and other community partners are "jumping in" to support schools without PTA/PTOs. Join us!
SFSD sends a HUGE Thank You to our School Resource Officers from the SF Police Department! SROs establish relationships with students and staff to keep schools safe!

Every day is a GREAT day in SFSD classrooms! Thursday was extra special as Supt. Stavem and Board Member Marc Murren surprised six educators by naming them finalists for the Dr. John W. Harris Teacher of the Year Award! Please join us in congratulating these amazing educators!
Robert Frost 5th graders participate in a grade-level Leadership program. During first semester, students study the seven habits that create successful students:
Habit 1: Be Proactive
Habit 2: Begin with the End in Mind
Habit 3: Put First Things First
Habit 4: Think Win-Win
Habit 5: Seek First to Understand, Then to be Understood
Habit 6: Synergize
Habit 7: Sharpen the Saw
Once students learn the seven habits, they have the chance to demonstrate these habits throughout the school week. Students are then eligible to participate in a leadership committee during Friday afternoons. Students choose from a variety of committees, meet to create a plan, and finally put that plan into action which helps keep our school looking the best it can!
Go Roadrunners!

On Friday, 211, 311, and 312 students participated in a sheep heart dissection! A big thanks goes out to Sanford Research and Ben Benson for organizing this amazing opportunity for our Challenge Center 2nd and 3rd Graders. They loved the hands-on learning about the heart.
Second and third grade Challenge Center students have checked their heart rate doing different activities, danced to keep their heart healthy, checked their heart rate after dancing, played a heart trivia game, and more! Pictured are 312 students.
This week, Challenge Center second and third graders are participating in an interim focused on the heart. Today, they experienced a presentation about the “plumbing” and “electricity” of the heart.
