What an incredible two days in Dayton at the VEX IQ State Championships held at the United States Air Force Museum! Our teams represented us with determination, teamwork, and true sportsmanship on a huge stage. Competing among the best in the state is no small accomplishment, and we couldn’t be prouder of how they showed up and supported one another throughout the event. The Zombie Zeroes from Beyond the Grave finished an outstanding 6th place overall! Team Name battled hard and finished 27th in the state! From strategic driving and coding to problem-solving under pressure, these students demonstrated resilience, focus, and heart. Watching them compete in such an inspiring venue made the experience even more special. Congratulations to both teams on an amazing season and a fantastic showing at State! The future is bright for these young engineers!

Mrs. Ferguson’s 7th graders took their ancient Rome unit to the next level! To wrap up their learning, students created life-size gladiators—complete with detailed armor and creative designs. This hands-on project brought history to life and showcased both their knowledge and imagination. Amazing work!

Huge congratulations to Tyson E., Corey L., Jacob J., Gabrielle R., and Konnor F. from the Junior High Robotics Team for earning the Teamwork Champion award at the event held at Brookside High School! Led by their coach, Mr. Dewey, this team’s collaboration, communication, and problem-solving truly stood out, and their win secured them a spot at the State Championships in Dayton this March! We are so proud of this team and can’t wait to see what they accomplish next. Way to represent!

The Junior High Robotics Team traveled to Highland Middle School recently to compete in the VEX IQ Mix & Match Tournament, and they had an amazing showing! Team Highlights: • Teams placed 4th, 5th, and 12th overall • The team of Audrey I., Bella P., Ben G., Emilia W., Mallory G., and Kameron L. earned 2nd place in the Skills Competition • And bringing home our first-ever robotics award, the Innovative Award, was the team of Corey L., Gabrielle R., Grayson W., Jacob J., Konnor F., and Tyson E. We are so proud of these hardworking students and their incredible teamwork, creativity, and problem-solving. Congratulations, Robotics Team, and good luck at your next competition!

Lexington Middle School celebrated the 67th day of school in the only way that made sense… by going FULL 67! If you can’t beat the trend, you lean all the way in, and we absolutely did. We hid 67 “6 & 7s” around the building for students to find and redeem for prizes. We blasted hits from 1967 between class periods (you’re welcome, kids). And yes… we had giant balloons, because why not embrace the chaos? It was peak unhinged 6 7 energy, truly the most on-brand day we’ve had all year, and we loved every minute of it.

Mrs. Wells’ junior high PE students are right on target! Recently, they took to archery to sharpen their aim while building focus, coordination, and confidence with every draw and release.

The first day at Lexington Junior High was filled with fun and connections! Students kicked off the year by playing “Get to Know You Jenga”, a great way to learn more about each other while building friendships and teamwork.
