Bilingual students in grades 1 through 4 at Truman School had a spectacular day at Rose's Orchard! They enjoyed a classic fall experience, complete with fun tractor rides, searching for the perfect apples, and navigating the twisty turns of the hay maze.

A fantastic day of hands-on learning, fresh air, and fun—perfect for building new vocabulary while making great memories!

• Impact: All of our high schools were able to participate, giving our students the chance to engage directly with college admissions representatives.
• Results: Some students even received on-the-spot admission for the fall semester!
Partnerships Matter! This event clearly demonstrated the power of community collaboration in creating opportunities for our students.

8th graders at Truman aren't just reading about geometry—they're building it!
This week, students are mastering rigid transformations (translations, reflections, and rotations) through a hands-on design task. It's awesome to see them collaborate, problem-solve, and apply those abstract concepts to real-world designs. Great work, everyone! #NHPS

MBA hosted media day today! Metro students worked with the Office of School Choice to record videos to promote #NHPS. The Digital Media and Technology Pathways students then recorded a conversation with fellow Metro students about MBA. The groups will go through the process of editing and cutting the video for recruitment.

Absolutely in love with the stunning new artwork from students and staff that beautifully enhances the Art Wing at Hillhouse High School! #NHPS

Truman School 4th graders in Ms. Gordon's room are demonstrating some serious math strategies this week! They took on a tough challenge: setting an April visitor goal for the zoo that had to be 999 to 9,999 more than any two months combined from January to March.

This problem wasn't just about adding! The students had to:
PLAN IT OUT : They had to think strategically about which two months to add first to find the biggest total—the toughest number to beat!
SHOW THEIR WORK : Every calculation had to be clearly documented as proof.
EXPLAIN THEIR THOUGHT PROCESS : They had to write out why they chose their final goal and how they know it beats the rule.

So proud of the deep thinking, planning, and focus on details from these hardworking students!

Students in Ms. Pileggi's science class at Barnard School planted kale and lettuce seeds to be grown hydroponically, and they strung together dried slices of fruit to make bird feeders. #NHPS

Students at Worthington Hooker School celebrated the season with a Mask-A-Rade! #NHPS
