Students are analyzing the balance in Mondrian's iconic art by calculating color ratios and percentages, then creating their own masterpieces inspired by his style. It's a fun way to connect math and art while learning about proportions, fractions, and percentages. Stay tuned for some amazing student creations! 💡✨ #MathInArt #CreativeLearning #PietMondrian

TMS 8th graders completed another milestone in the NC Career Development Plan by working on high school course planning. Topsail High School counselors and the THS career development coordinator visited classes to talk about how high school is different from middle school, tips for success, and to help students plan high school electives. Students stored their plans in a high school career development Google classroom so the plans can roll up with them. Ask them to show you their plan!
