Week 2: This week, get to know Vita and the characters in the book. Consider your team and imagine if you could choose a team of four people to accompany you on an adventure. Who would you select and why?
This past weekend, we witnessed a fantastic team coming together with the Village of Stillman Valley, the Meridian School District, Fire Departments from all over, and many wonderful groups that contributed to a very successful Fall Festival. Thank you so much! That was teamwork! They say teamwork makes the dreamwork!
MC Students, feel free to draw a picture or write a story about your great team of 4, and we'll hang them in the hallway this coming week.
Practice kicks off next week for boys in 6th–8th grade!
Check last Friday's Cardinal Chronicle for specific practice times by grade level.

👏 Way to go, Cardinals!
Our science students took on an exciting engineering challenge this week! Using only 10 sheets of paper, tape, and scissors, teams worked together to design and build the tallest free-standing tower possible.
This hands-on activity encouraged creativity, problem-solving, and teamwork while giving students a chance to apply engineering design principles in a fun and engaging way. Each group experimented with shapes, folds, and structural supports to see which design could stand the tallest without tipping over.
🏗️ The results? Towers of all shapes and sizes—some wobbly, some strong, but all built with determination and innovation.
👏 We are so proud of our students for their collaboration, perseverance, and out-of-the-box thinking!

Mrs. Salo’s 7th grade history students recently put their creativity to the test by designing their very own imaginary countries! 🗺️
Using the 5 Themes of Geography—location, place, human-environment interaction, movement, and region, students created maps and detailed descriptions to bring their countries to life. From unique landforms to amazing tourist attractions, each project showed off both imagination and geographic thinking.
👏 MJHS is so proud of the effort and originality the students poured into this project!
