Amazing work by one of my 7th grade cosmetology artists!!! I challenged students to replicate the look on the right. She got pretty dang close to the reference🌈 @VIDASHARKS

During our argument writing unit this year, we wrote letters to congresspeople about our stances on the potential TikTok ban. Senator Brian Jones was kind of enough to mail a reply to a few of our students!! I love this level of authentic engagement!! 🤩@VIDASHARKS

A throwback to my days in middle school… cootie catchers! Ss researched the origins of Valentine’s Day, then made cootie catchers with historically inspired fortunes. They loved getting to apply their knowledge to a fun, tactile project🤩 @VIDASHARKS #WeAreVIDA

My first group of 6th graders are now big, tall, beautiful, successful 8th graders🥲🥲 I had so much fun seeing them all dressed up at the Winter Formal last night. @VIDASHARKS 🩵🌟

In the final days of Cosmetology Design Lab, students are working with hot tools!! Am I a nervous teacher today? Yes. But am I a proud teacher? Yes!!!🥰🫶 @VIDASHARKS #WeAreVIDA

[Lauryn Johnson @msjohnson505]

@VIDASHARKS I mean, tell me these don’t look like they just picked them up at Barnes and Noble? ALL original cover art, 100% designed by them to fit the mood of their novels.

[Lauryn Johnson @msjohnson505]

These AMAZING 8th graders took the opportunity to write a novel and publish their work!!! I cannot understate how self-motivated they are. One of the proudest moments of my career thus far, especially since I had 5 of these kids when they were in 6th grade :’) @VIDASHARKS

[Lauryn Johnson @msjohnson505]

What a special place to work… where kids enjoy creative freedom and adults are empowered to give them that freedom🩵🦈 #WeAreVIDA @VIDASHARKS

[VIDA (6-8 Magnet) @VIDASHARKS]

Students in Creative Writing have published their own works! Professionally bound and ready to share their imaginations with the world- incredible work and authentic expression of what they can do. Thank you @msjohnson505 #EeAreVIDA
