Today we celebrated black history month with our annual Black History museum. Members of our speech and debate team prepared speeches about some very influential African Americans to share, and did amazing. We also welcomed a very special guest Dr. Maude Sanders daughter, Carol Caldwell-Graham to share her mother's story. Carol also brought some of her mothers memorabilia to show and donate to the school.

Our third and fourth graders are diving into artificial intelligence this week in Mr. Barber’s computer lab. Using the “AI for Oceans" course, students trained a machine learning model to help sort fish from ocean trash and explore how computers learn from data. Proud of these young tech learners making waves at Maude Sanders!
