The Principals gave their time to Middle School teacher Heidi Goodwin who shared what ANCS 6th graders are working on. She shared a video from her class based on poems the students wrote entitled "I am From". This poem was used to introduce the students to the middle campus family by each student reading their favorite lines from their "I am From" poems creating one long poem via video. The video was shared with other students during morning meeting. Heidi then shared an entire poem written by a student, and passed around a couple of other pieces of student work. -Mitch spoke about Superintendent Meria Carstarphen's school visit to the Middle Campus.
