Today our 5th grade students completed a service learning project in order to help uphold Human Rights for people within our community. After hosting a school-wide food drive, the students worked together with parent volunteers to package 325 Thanksgiving meals for the Meals on Wheels program through the Caring for Friends Organization. Thanks to all who donated and volunteered to help make this event such a great success!

This afternoon our 6th grade students attended an assembly with Mr. Litton from Action Karate. He talked to them about the importance of goal setting and how to take it one step at a time to make a lot of progress in the end. He also talked about how to be an upstander and to stand up for yourself and others in a firm but respectful way. One tip he shared was to have confidence in yourself, ask a question, or use humor to diffuse a situation.
Today we had our school wide fire prevention assemblies. A huge shout out to the Bensalem Fire Department!
Tonight the halls of School Lane were filled with the whimsical sounds of music from our fall recital. All the students did a fantastic job! Special shout out to Ms. Windle for putting it all together and to all the families who came out to support our musical program.
The 6th grade students did a great job presenting their Spanish-Speaking Country research at the Exhibition this morning. The audience completed a Scavenger Hunt by listening to different presentations and learning all about the Spanish-Speaking world. Their projects included basic facts about the country such as geographic, political, and cultural information. Students from each class were nominated to replicate one of the 20 flags which were showcased this morning. The event concluded with students performing the Countries and Capitals song. Thank you to everyone who came out to support, and great job 6th graders! You can see more photos from the event here: https://photos.app.goo.gl/fBHQjLVQa7Hmf8F98

The 6th grade students have been working hard on planning, designing, and building projects to try to protect an egg from being dropped from various heights. The first round of “The Egg Drop” is from a ladder, the second is from the roof of the school, and the third and final round is from the fire truck ladder! Many students created projects that survived all 3 rounds this year!

Today 5th graders had the opportunity to Zoom with Meg Lowman! She is an arbornaut and scientist who explores treetop canopies and studies biodiversity all over the world. The students learned about her work in a text they read in ELA, The Most Beautiful Roof in the World. They then raised funds during their exhibition’s silent auction to donate to her Tree Foundation. Today they were able to ask her questions and hear more details about her mission to protect the Earth and learn all about new species.
Our 6th graders have been studying hunger and poverty as part of a unit on the development of societies in I&S. The students collected donations throughout the month of May to help local families struggling to feed their families as a community impact project. We partnered with two organizations – Caring for Friends and Harvest Ministries Food Pantry – which is just a block down the road from School Lane, who provided lists of items needed. Thank you to everyone from our school community who donated because today we were able to deliver all these items to the pantry right next to us and directly impact our local community!
We were thrilled that Mr. McGowan, a Civil War Reenactor, came to visit our 5th grade students again this year! He shared facts and examples of the clothing, artillery, food, and experiences of Civil War troops. Students were able to see the items to better understand what life was like for the soldiers during this time, and some even got to try them on!
