Our very own Ms. Lipscomb is celebrating a very important victory with her students this month. The North Carolina Scholastic Dance Festival was held February 17 at Durham School of the Arts and our Hillside Hornets finished 1st OVERALL winning a state championship. The team rated superior in Hip Hop and Student Choreography while beating out schools from around the state to win the overall crown. Congrats to Ms. Lipscomb and our amazing students.

From the desk of Mr. Adam Sharpnack: As the students read the book Night by Elie Wiesel, we explore stereotypes and the universal themes of hate and pain. As a summative assessment, each student is to research 4 news articles on hate crimes, record them in a graphic organizer, and draw connections through the theme of hate. The students get really engaged in the research, reacting with shock and disgust toward the crimes and empathy for the victims.They start their research paper on hate crimes by crafting a thesis sentence with a theme topic as the central idea that is broken down into 3 sub-topics. These sub-topics then become the main topic for each of the 3 body paragraphs. The claim in the sub- topic is then supported in the body paragraphs by using citations that the students draw from the articles that they researched on their own. They organize all of the paper, sentence-by-sentence, in an outline that they will use to to type their final draft into a Google Doc. In these photos, Ms. McCullough's students were solving logarithmic and exponential equations. They were eager to test and prove their knowledge on this unit! Students in her class have built the confidence to come to the board and explain for their peers! Great work Ms. McCullough!
IB Environmental students are bridging the gap between art and science by expressing their own environmental value systems thorough images. An environmental value system is a worldview or paradigm to how you view environmental issues. The students work is displayed outside of Ms. Brock's classroom for all to view.
