During a recent FLEX exploratory session, students at Cambridge Middle School welcomed back former middle school teaching legend Mr. Dan Jakovich.
FLEX sessions give middle schoolers dedicated time during the school day to explore new interests, build skills, and learn through interactive experiences. Mr. Jakovich shared his knowledge and passion by demonstrating hunting dog training techniques, teaching students basic commands and skills for training puppies and young dogs. 🐾
Thank you, Mr. Jakovich, for coming back to CMS and inspiring our learners! 💙

🔬💥 LEARNING IN ACTION: MOLE DAY! 💙❤️
How many students are excited enough about chemistry to voluntarily show up to school before the sun rises? At Cambridge-Isanti High School, it's an annual tradition!
Tomorrow, October 23, at 6:02 a.m., CIHS students will gather to celebrate Mole Day! This annual tradition celebrates Avogadro's Number (6.02 × 10²³) with exciting chemistry experiments, impressive demonstrations, and a whole lot of Bluejacket enthusiasm!
👏 We love seeing students so excited about learning that they're willing to show up before daylight to experience science in action. A special thank you to Mr. Rink and our local fire department for helping make this memorable tradition possible!
🚨 HEADS UP, NEIGHBORS! If you hear a few loud BOOMS coming from the CIHS area early Friday morning, don't be alarmed! They're part of planned, supervised outdoor chemistry demonstrations. No need to report the noise - it's just science in action! 🔬💥
💙❤️ Just another day (before daylight!) of learning in action at C-I Schools!

🌱 Students at Cambridge-Isanti High School are seeing firsthand how learning can grow beyond the classroom.
Vegetables grown in the community garden located at CIHS were harvested and later used by students in Mr. Jensen’s and Mrs. Carstensen’s Foods 1 classes to make fresh, homemade salsa.
From growing and harvesting food to preparing it in class, students practiced important skills while learning more about nutrition, food preparation, and where their food comes from.
Thank you to Mr. Jensen and Mrs. Carstensen for creating engaging, hands-on learning opportunities for students. 🍅

✈️ Learning is taking flight at Cambridge-Isanti High School!
Students in our aviation themed courses are using drones to get hands-on experience with flight concepts, navigation, and modern technology.
Having a licensed pilot as an instructor gives our students real-world guidance on what it takes to pursue a career in aviation. By practicing drone operations as part of the coursework, students build practical skills, explore new interests, and open doors to exciting future opportunities in aviation.
Thank you, Mr. Miller, for bringing this innovative program to CIHS and for guiding our students as they reach new heights! 💙

Learning, Belonging, and Bluejacket Pride
🎉Our preschool students joined in the Homecoming fun with dress-up days, a pep fest, and conversations about showing their Bluejacket Best!

🏆❤️💙 Happy National Coaches Day! 💙❤️🏆
Today we celebrate the incredible coaches who dedicate their time, energy and heart to helping our Bluejackets grow - whether on the football field, basketball court, hockey rink, cross country course, center stage or behind a podium.
Athletics and beyond - our coaches do so much more than teach skills and prepare students for competition. They build confidence, encourage perseverance, develop leaders, strengthen teamwork and help students discover what they’re capable of achieving.
Thank you to all of our Cambridge-Isanti coaches for the practices, rehearsals, competitions, games, performances, pep talks and countless hours you pour into our students.
The season may end, but a great coach’s impact lasts far beyond it.
Happy National Coaches Day! ❤️💙
