As part of our unit on bridges, 4th grade GT students completed the classic “Paper Tables” STEM challenge.

This Native American Heritage Month, we honor the voices of Indigenous peoples, recognize their lasting impact, and help our students build understanding, appreciation, and respect for the diverse stories that shape our nation. #NativeAmericanHeritageMonth @HicksTigers @AliefISD
