Thanks to a grant from the Fayetteville Public Education Foundation, John L Colbert Middle School (JLCMS) multilingual families are literally sharing their stories. Dr. Mary Collins and JLCMS staff have been hosting family nights where multilingual families gather and participate in interactive sessions with FPS staff to write their family stories. Families and staff work together to revise and edit stories in both English and their native language to prepare to be published in a book later this year. As part of the project, families had a portrait taken that will be both included in the final book and framed as a gift. Dr. Mary Collins is using the power of storytelling to build empathy and community in the school family. This authentic project invests students, families, and school staff in the celebration of language and cultural differences.

McNair Middle School students have been dissecting owl pellets in Debra Fox’s classes! Pellets are a record of what owls have eaten, and students can study them to learn more about the owl and the ecosystems in which they live. Owls swallow their food whole, and owl pellets have been regurgitated from the owl's beak. When students dissect owl pellets, they can see and identify the tiny bones from that owl's meal and can learn about the owl's diet and their place in the food web.
