Last week, our 5th graders put their creativity to the test by making camouflaged butterflies and hiding them around the science room! 🦋🔍
Mr. Lewis & Mrs. Hatterman’s kindergarteners then went on a butterfly hunt to see how many they could spot. A fun mix of science, art, and discovery!

57 Years Ago in Cadet History…
The 1968-1969 school year was a year of “Discovery!”
This theme reflected the adventurous spirit of the late ’60s. With the moon landing on the horizon, youth culture booming, and new opportunities in academics, athletics, and the arts, students were encouraged to explore, grow, and look toward the future with curiosity and optimism.
