A few Patrick Henry 8th Grade girls, along with Mrs. Roberts, were able to attend the Pizza, Pop and Power Tools event held last week at the Career and Technical Education Academy. This event was aimed at introducing young women to a career in trade skills and construction. The girls had the opportunity to work with forklifts, carpentry tools, welding equipment and more. Students also met with women leaders in these industries, showing that there is no limit to their future possibilities!
During the recent weeks, Team 6-2 ELA students have been working in groups to save Mrs. Sharping! Based on clues and evidence, students were tasked with creating an argument to support who they thought the Top 3 suspects were responsible for kidnapping Mrs. Sharping. They also had to determine who committed the crime and why. There was a jury of adults who listened as groups presented their claim, evidence and reasoning. The jury selected the group with the strongest presentation in each class period! Students were engaged and took their work seriously knowing they would present to a panel of judges! Nice work, Team 6-2!
Patrick Henry 8th Grade Orchestra and Strings Attached traveled to Brandon Valley High School last week to perform for judges. Clinicians worked with both groups, giving them tips to further develop their musical abilities. Both groups worked hard and had wonderful performances, receiving Division I ratings. Well done, Panthers!
