From Nick Scacco, Science Teacher:
Our 7th Grade Life Science and 9th Grade Biology students went on field trips to the Pfizer School of Science Mobile Experience, a 53-foot traveling science lab built around an escape room-style challenge.
Working in teams, students entered the mobile lab and raced against the clock to solve science-based riddles, decode clues, and work through a series of challenges. The activities connected to topics in biology, chemistry, DNA, and vaccine science, and required students to communicate, problem-solve, and use evidence to figure out what to do next.
One highlight was interacting with Pfizer’s robotic dog Fido, and seeing another example of how technology can be used to collect data and improve safety. The escape room format made the experience especially engaging because students had to actively work through problems rather than simply listen or observe. It was a fun way for both grade levels to see how the science they study in class connects to real-world research, technology, and STEM careers.
Are your children learning to navigate—or instead becoming very accomplished passengers? Take some time for a discovery trip through Odysseus’s Greece, where getting lost might still be part of an amazing education.
What if the most dangerous thing a teacher can do is ask one more question?
7th Grade Life Science students have making connections to the characteristics of living things and to cell theory. They used microscopes to view the connections between cells, tissues, organs and systems using fish cells.
In World History, our 10th graders have been studying the French Revolution. Our students got to experience the divisions that drove the revolution first-hand by baking three types of breads that each represented a different class.

The Middle School ASB presented the Middle School Back-to-School Beach Party at Moonlight Beach. It was such a fun time at the beach with happy students and connections and smiles all over the place!
