Check out what’s happening at Haven Bay Elementary. Mrs. Smith’s 6th-grade class has been absolutely crushing it! 🏆They worked hard to follow the classroom procedures last month and earned 75 class points. The class voted to play games in the gym. Some opted to battle it out in dodge ball, others played a fun volleyball passing game. 📈 It’s so inspiring to see these students taking ownership of their success. They are truly living up to the school spirit and SOARing to new heights! Let’s hear it for Mrs. Smith’s class! Keep leading the way, Herons! 🐦🙌

Our Great Blue Herons have been reaching new heights—and lengths—this week! Our brilliant fifth-grade students faced off in the STEM Olympiad tryouts, tackling the ultimate structural challenge: the Longest Freestanding Paper Cantilever. The goal was to build the longest paper structure that sticks out from a table and stays up entirely on its own. Working in teams of three, our Herons had a tight 15-minute window to design and build. 📏It wasn’t just about length; it was about precision engineering! To qualify, every team had to follow strict rules. Each team used only 10 sheets of copy paper and 20 inches of masking tape; no masking tape was allowed to touch the table surfaces; and the structure had to stay on the table using only its own weight—no attaching it to the floor or walls. All parts of the structure on the table had to remain between the table edge and a blue tape line set 12 inches back.
⚖️ Once "hands off" was called, the pressure was on! A judge set a 30-second timer. To qualify for measurement, the cantilever had to remain perfectly stable—no collapsing, no touching the floor, and no visible downward movement. It's inspiring to see our 5th graders collaborating and problem-solving under pressure. From reinforced paper tubes to clever counterweights, their innovation was off the charts! 💙 Who will hold the record for the longest stable cantilever at Haven Bay? Stay tuned for the final results!

These students aren't just leaders in their own hallways—they’re mentors who show up to empower the next generation.

What an incredible turnout for our Haven Bay Elementary Skate Night at Classic Fun Center! Wednesday night was filled with neon lights, fast wheels, and the best community around. From our pros, including Mr. Skeen and Mrs. Treece, zooming around the rink to our beginners mastering the "skate helpers," it was amazing to see so many Great Blue Herons soaring (and occasionally rolling) together! Whether you were there for the skating, the arcade, or a classic blue ICEE, we hope you had a blast making memories with friends and family. It is always great seeing our students and families represent Haven Bay off-campus!
