We finished our Dragon STEM project. Students designed an egg, a scale sample, life stats of the dragon they created, create a map of where they lived, and come up with a local legend about their dragon. They loved it. Here's a peek #GreatDay2BaTiger @Avery_Tigers

Congrats to our 6th graders. They have closed a chapter in their education by finishing up elementary school. We will miss them all, however, we are excited to see what the future holds for each one of them! Best of luck. #OnceATigerAlwaysATiger #GreatDay2BaTiger #ClassOf2027
