🚁🌟 Our seventh grade remote sensing students have been exploring how to program and safely fly drones in Mr. Bouwman’s classroom over the past couple of weeks! Students are now taking their skills to the next level as they work collaboratively to design and program their very own drone shows complete with synchronized movements, lights, and choreography. 🤖✨
It has been awesome watching our students combine coding, creativity, teamwork, and problem-solving while learning real-world STEM skills. Stay tuned for some amazing performances! 🚀🎮
Some speech topics include:
Breaking down an AC unit for scrape, cleaning and caring for a pet hamster, caring for naturally curly hair, preparing a hockey stick for competition, baiting a fish hook with tips and tricks for local anglers.

Congratulations to both staff and students for rocking Advisory class time!
To show our gratitude for the incredible educators and support staff who make Shumate Middle School such a wonderful place to learn, NJHS officially "Stuffed the Staff Lounge!" From delicious treats and snacks to some much-needed drinks, we wanted to make sure our staff felt the love all week long.
