Fourth Grader Takes on a School-wide Competition
Rhett Beach is organizing a coding competition at Numa Elementary

Fourth-Grade Student Rhett Beach, in Vanessa Burch-Urquhart’s class, at Numa Elementary, decided that despite shortened class time and extracurricular projects being put on hold, a year without coding just wouldn't be right. Therefore, he took it upon himself to begin a school-wide Scratch contest in which students will create their own unique projects on MIT's Scratch website (scratch.mit.edu).

Once these fourth- and fifth-grade students complete the projects after winter break, Rhett and his fellow classmate and coder, Poppy Stephens, will judge the entries. Prizes will be awarded for the three best projects. Students across campus will be graded on creativity and complexity shown in their projects.

I honestly can’t believe you are gone…..you were a wonderful human being, with a HUGE heart and soul. Hearing this makes my heart break! You are forever in our hearts, and I can say I feel blessed that I was able to know you!

Thank you Kelli Kelly.Comment publication date: 3/21/26, 8:12 AMComment source: In memorium -- The Melon ManComment author: Bob SondgrothComment text: There are times when you should just know about someone. Who and what they REALLY were. Because they were devotional and IMPORTANT to the humans they connected with. The content of their life bled so that others could feel their own life’s importance. Teachers of justifiable life and art. That all can absorb and use as the best fertilizer for THEIR lives. Giving the silent secrets and the loud guidance. The Melon Man was a perfect specimen for how to devote. His passing meant a life book of feeling/knowing what gives other humans their paths to Love and Knowledge. Some humans are meant to show others their paths. And in that they secrete ways to profitably exist.Comment publication date: 3/18/26, 4:50 PMComment source: In memorium -- The Melon Man
