Our Robotics students are On The Move! For this activity, students built and programmed a motor to spin a gear train. Once successfully completed, each group built upon that phase by assembling, wiring, and programming a system to complete a task. Their system in this scenario, an all-terrain vehicle prototype, had to meet the following requirements:
🤖Has four wheels.
🤖Moves autonomously.
🤖Includes forward movement.
With the teacher's help, students read and followed the instructions in the build guide parts list and instructions to complete their project.

Last week, the Maumelle Middle School Choir hosted an after-school social event. Our choir students spent the evening building positive relationships through group activities like CHOIR BINGO with lots of great prizes to take home!
We would like to thank Maumelle Sonic, Chick-Fil-A Maumelle, and the Maumelle Starbucks for their contributions to our prize table. All students left the event with a prize in hand. We also want to give a great big shout out to Kroger Maumelle for helping us feed the choir by donating hot dogs & buns, chips, sodas and waters for our event! We couldn’t have done it without them.
This collaborative event will set the stage for a productive year performing together and making harmony in the choir.
Congratulations to our Students of the Month for August!!!
6th grade - Ja'Liyah Epperson
