Second graders crushed their Rocket Math goal and earned a sweet reward — ROOT BEER FLOATS! 🍦🥤

They practiced, stayed focused, and it paid off in the best (and tastiest) way!

Both girls and boys basketball teams came away with huge victories in the CLAA Conference tournament semifinals. With those wins, both teams are now headed to the Conference Championship games this Saturday. Let’s pack the stands for the girls at 6:30 and the boys at 8:00 and show them our full support as they go for the title.

BIG CONGRATULATIONS TO OUR HIGBEE CHEERLEADERS! All-Conference Cheer was announced today and we could not be more proud! Our squad placed 3rd overall, with multiple athletes earning 1st team and 2nd team honors. These student athletes are the heartbeat of our basketball games — getting the gym roaring, firing up the crowd, and supporting our teams every single night. Their energy, dedication, and hard work do not go unnoticed! 🐅 Thank you for representing our school with pride, spirit, and class. GO TIGERS! 🐅

The 6th grade class did an experiment to represent usable land on Earth. 3/4 of an apple is water and 1/4 is land but 2/3 of the piece represents land that is too cold, hot or mountainous. Only the peel on the last piece (1/3 of the 1/4) is what part of Earth that can support humans.

The Higbee Tigers and Lady Tigers enter the second round of CLAA Tournament play tonight. GO TIGERS!
