At NewStart Academy, Mrs. Vickie's Literacy students are collaborating on creating infographics based on topics of their choice. One of our students is sharing their expertise by guiding others on using an app to design backgrounds for their projects.
NewStart Academy's Literacy classes recently conducted a Crime Scene Investigation (CSI) concerning the disappearance of Ichabod Crane in the town of Sleepy Hollow. After reading the short story, students conducted an investigation that culminated in writing an investigative report and solving the "crime" based on text evidence.

Emma Kelley Shares Her Perspective on How EAST Programs Allow Students to Give Back to Their Communities During the Holiday Season.
You can read Emma's story from the EAST Initiative's monthly newsletter, EAST Perspectives, below!
Mrs. Glover's Honors Physical Science class tackled a fascinating experiment this week. Their mission: design and build a helmet using only tape, cardboard, and hot glue that could protect an egg from a 3 and 5 pound weight dropped from a height of 8 feet!
These students tested their engineering skills and explored the importance of helmets in collisions and their role in reducing traumatic brain injuries (TBI).
But the challenge didn't stop there! They also had to design a marketable helmet appealing to potential customers. Talk about creativity and critical thinking!
We're impressed by their dedication, problem-solving skills, and understanding of the science behind brain protection.
A BIG shoutout to these incredible students who hit the high note of achievement:
Luke Baker: 1st chair band Clarinet
Macy Sides: 2nd chair band Clarinet
Ava Haynes: Alternate French Horn (switched from trumpet!)
Axel Davis: Alternate French Horn (switched from trumpet!)
These talented students auditioned against 9th graders and blew the judges away! We are so proud of their dedication, hard work, and musical talent.
Keep shining, musicians! ✨
