Around Our School 🏫
Black and Gold Day
The Black team won this year's Black and Gold Day competition.
Design Challenge w/ Mr. Brown
The Skimmer Design Challenge focuses on measurement, blueprints, assembling, and fun. After the students construct their skimmers, they get to test their models and skills to see if they can launch them out of Mr. Brown's classroom.
8th Grade Formal
On Thursday, June 6, 8th graders danced the night away at Georgine's!
Bain and Mindset Workshop
On May 14th Julia Skolnik from Professional Learning Partnerships came to Armstrong to host a "Brain and Mindset" workshop for selected 6th and 7th grade students. During this event, students learned about some common myths about how the brain works, and how our brains work best.
Thank you to Julia and her team for setting this up.

BTSD Music Night 🎶
Bristol Township School District's Music Night at the Trenton Thunder Ballpark was held on Tuesday, June 4th. Before the game, more than 200 BTSD Band and Choir students performed outside the stadium and on the field.
The top five ticket student ticket sellers threw out the first pitch and everyone enjoyed the Dollar Dog Night and Kids Eat Free promotions as the Thunder opened their season against the State College Spikes.
It was a beautiful night with a great crowd, including more than 1,100 guests from Bristol Township, to cheer on our students and the Trenton Thunder as they brought home an exciting win on a walk-off hit in the bottom of the ninth inning!
