This week, students at Sinai Elementary are diving deeper into their digital citizenship skills. Using The Technology Tail and Troll Stinks, students actively explored the impact of cyberbullying and developed a stronger understanding of their digital footprint through discussion, reflection, and real-world connections. This lesson was facilitated by Khaela Powell, ITRT.

Sinai's 5th graders recently experienced the Danville Science Center Outreach Program's StarLab Portable Planetarium. They discovered the relationship between the sun, Earth, and moon while exploring planets. Also they learned about current and upcoming space missions. Thank you to the Halifax County Public Schools Education Foundation for supporting our fifth graders through a mini-grant.
