Classroom Champions ~ November/December

Jamestown 6th graders have been very busy the last two months at Sabal! Our challenge from Clark was to better our community. Students had many ideas. We collected donations for our local animal shelter and delivered them after our last day of school before the winter break.


We also met with our Head Custodian to make plans for keeping our campus beautiful! We will be a part of a committee that will not only pick up the trash around school, we will encourage others to do the same.


Mrs. Cwiklinski, one of our kindergarten teachers, came to speak with our class about raising money for MS. We plan to participate in the MS Walk in March. She has asked us to create a team name and t-shirt design to help raise money for the cause. Mrs. Cwiklinski was diagnosed two years ago with MS. Our participation will not only help Mrs. Cwiklinski, but the entire community. Students are very excited to help with this project! We would even like to invite Clark to join us for the MS Walk in March if he is able to make it!  This is the link that Mrs. Cwiklinski shared to begin her talk with the students:




On top of all our community service, we have had visits from some of our middle schools in the area to discuss Life After Sixth Grade! Stone Middle School came to discuss their STEM program and Johnson Middle School came to discuss their STAR/Cambridge program.



Sixth graders also went to Kennedy Space Center for an incredible field trip. They participated in a bridge building activity, toured the center, and got to ride the Shuttle Experience. This is a free program to all public school sixth graders in our county. We are fortunate to live so close to this history and science!













I am personally looking forward to January's challenge! Perseverance is definitely an area for improvement for many students. 
Happy Holidays and Happy New Year from Jamestown Sixth Graders!
