While the nation awaits election results, the sixth graders at HCA have a decision! In homeroom, they held a mock election and Joe Biden emerged as the winner. Lord Voldemort (a fictional character from Harry Potter) came in at a close second.

Our sixth grade will soon be undertaking their very first science fair projects. For some inspiration, the students explored last year's projects. Soon they will propose their own research topics. Stay tuned to learn more about their investigations.

The students have been working hard, but we still found time for fun during lunch and recess. Good luck on the CTP's next week, 6th grade!
