Hands-On Science in Action!

Science came to life in Ms. Grey’s 7th-grade classroom! Our young scientists rolled up their sleeves and dissected chicken wings to explore the musculoskeletal system, identifying tissues, bones, joints, and blood vessels.

What an engaging way to turn classroom learning into real-world discovery!

POV: You Walked Into the Minor Middle Library…

…and caught our Tigers enjoying a little quality time with a good book!

Some found a quiet corner. Some read alongside friends. Some discovered something new. And some just had to show off what they were reading!

At Minor Middle, reading doesn’t have to look the same for everyone. Whether it’s at a table, in a comfy chair, or alongside a friend, every page helps build stronger readers.


Now it’s YOUR turn! What are you reading right now? Drop a picture of your book in the comments! 👇

Minor Middle H.O.P.E. Team | ALL IN

Our Minor Middle H.O.P.E. Team recently stepped into professional learning with one goal in mind; becoming even more intentional about how we serve our students, support one another, and strengthen our school community.

Through the ALL IN experience, our faculty and administrators explored the power of connection, communication, shared identity, intentional encouragement, and living out our core values.

The experience served as a powerful reminder that building a positive school culture begins within each of us. When we are intentional, connected, and committed, we create an environment where both students and staff know they are valued, supported, and needed.

At Minor Middle, we’re ALL IN for our students, our school, and our community!
