🏐 What a season for our Volleyball teams! 🏐

7th grade finished 2nd place at the Conference Tournament over the weekend after playing three incredible games — including an intense three-set battle against North Boone in the championship match!

8th grade wrapped up their season this weekend too with a tough loss but a great season overall!

We’re so proud of their effort, teamwork, and determination all season long. Great job, ladies! 👏💪

Our students had the chance to design and create a pennant that represents their HIVE. Each pennant showcases their HIVE name, mascot and colors. Mr. Heidtke took his HIVE class to check out our college pennants before creating their own! 🖍️📐🎉

We love seeing the unique designs and the collaboration that went into making them! 💛🖤

🧘‍♀️🧘‍♂️ Ms. Marta is helping our students find their calm and focus through yoga in the classroom! Taking a few mindful minutes to stretch, breathe, and reset helps improve focus, reduce stress, and get ready for learning. 🧠✨

We love seeing students grow stronger not only in body but also in mind! 🌟 #MindfulMoments #ClassroomYoga #HarvardRising

We love seeing their hard work, teamwork, and creativity come to life in the music room! 🎼💛🖤
