She works so hard—for her students and for others—and that work should not go unnoticed!”
When asked to choose one word to describe her, he chose: Admirable.

Our 6th grade scientists got moving with a **Four Corners activity** this week! 🌎 Students were given different situations and had to decide if they showed a **positive**, **negative**, or **trade-off** human impact on the environment — with a “not sure” corner for those still thinking it through.
Once everyone picked their spot, they explained their reasoning and learned from one another’s perspectives. 💬👏
Hands-on learning + great discussions = science success! 🔬💚 #BeMSHornets #HandsOnLearning #ScienceInAction
