Our Middle School FCS students recently teamed up with our kindergarten classes for a special cross-grade collaboration.
During library time, kindergarten students learned how to use the Keynote app and used their knowledge of Native American symbols to design and decorate their own Native American vests digitally. They carefully chose symbols and patterns that represented what they had been learning in class.
Those digital designs were then brought to life by our FCS students. Apparel Construction students sewed the vests together, while 8th grade FCS students cut out the symbols and hand-stitched them onto each vest based on the kindergarteners’ original designs.
This project was a wonderful example of creativity, teamwork, and hands-on learning across grade levels. The best part was seeing the kindergarten students’ excitement when they got to wear the vests they designed themselves! 👏🪶🧵

👑☕ A Royal Tea Party! ☕👑
Kindergarten students studying kings and queens were recently treated to a very special Tea Party hosted by our high school classes!
Students in the World Foods class prepared a delightful spread fit for royalty, including finger sandwiches, shortbread cookies, and petite fours. The kindergarteners enjoyed sampling the elegant treats while practicing their best royal manners.
Meanwhile, students in Child Development class planned a variety of fun activities to keep the young guests entertained throughout the tea party. Activities included decorating their own tiara, a coloring page of each kindergarten student as a king or queen, and a lively round of “Pin the Tiara on Coach.”
It was a wonderful opportunity for our high school students to showcase their skills while creating a memorable and magical experience for the kindergarten class. A big thank you to everyone who helped make this royal celebration such a success! 👑✨
