Clue Game Brings Halloween Fun to Middle School

Seventh and eighth-grade students played a clue-style game, an innovative approach to learning that added a little fun to Halloween week. The game combined critical thinking and creativity. 

Modeled after the classic board game Clue, staff participated as the characters and gave daily hints to the students. Students submitted written responses each day on who they thought had committed the crime. The students’ final responses were judged on Halloween, and prizes were awarded to the top submissions. 

Sarah Moffitt, a parent, planned the fun activity. The middle school team and several staff members also participated by lending their voices to the characters. 

“I really appreciate the support and enthusiasm of all the middle school teachers and staff [including] Mrs. Shayna Byrd, Mrs. Kelly Nott, Mrs. Karina Davis, Mrs. Dakota Groom, Mrs. Tami McNeill, Mr. Dusty Casey, and Mr. Adam Revels,” Moffitt said. “Also, a big shout out to Mr. David Springfield for editing and cohesively putting together all of the daily episodes. This was definitely a team effort, and they pulled it off seamlessly.”

Eliana Gygax, Avery Laca, Janie Irving, Kenlie Pirkle, and Kenslee Wiessmer were the winners.

Senior Spotlight: Sara Aguiar

Oasis Academy senior Sara Aguiar will graduate in May and looks forward to finishing her basic training and AIT for the United States Army National Guard. Aguiar’s journey through Oasis Academy started in eighth grade.   

“When I started at Oasis, I had a hard time getting out of my comfort zone and making friends, but that changed,” she said. “I have found some of the best people at Oasis Academy. My friends have helped me find my voice. I feel like I can be more candid and open about things now,” she said.

“Mr. Lenon has been helping me since day one. He has truly made a difference in my life. I wouldn't be where I am today without his mentorship,” she explained. “The staff has always been really kind and helpful. They refuse to let students fail. My favorite class was Geometry with Mr. Brandt. He is a phenomenal math teacher, and he was always pretty funny,” she added.

“My favorite memories would be all the student events. Everyone had a lot of fun and the Student Council does an amazing job planning and decorating for everything,” Aguiar said.

For future students, she wants students to remember to persevere.

“You just need to push through. So many kids give up, but don't be one of those kids,” she said. “Everyone has the potential to do great; you just need to try. It gets hard sometimes, especially with the college classes, but if you just try, you will pass,” she closed. 

NV Energy Gives Lesson on Electricity

NV Energy representatives Ron Farley, Trevor Dillard, Mike Gray, and Kaite Wickizer recently gave an engaging presentation to Oasis Academy fourth-grade students about electricity and the importance of being safe around it.

The lively presentation featured real-life demonstrations and scenarios that allowed students to explore how electricity is generated, its critical role in our daily lives, and a reminder about how dangerous it can be.

“I really liked it,” said Jamie Stevenson. “I learned how far electricity can jump and the way it jumps from place to place. I also learned that energy will always go to the ground and go through any object to get to the ground. I want to be an engineer when I get older, so energy will be an important part of that.

We reached out to the writer/submitter and got this info back...hope it's helpful. PBM: Pharmacy Benefit Managers are pharmacies that are owned by insurance companies. (CVS is one.) They negotiate with drug makers to get reduced pricing for medications, but they historically have not passed along those savings to patients. https://www.ftc.gov/system/files/ftc_gov/pdf/pharmacy-benefit-managers-staff-report.pdf MFN: Most Favored Nation pricing is a policy that means a country agrees to offer the same trade concessions (like tariffs or price reductions) to all member nations of the World Trade Organization (WTO). When applied to pharmaceuticals, it could disrupt global access, deter innovation, and obscure the deeper systemic issues in American health care. https://petrieflom.law.harvard.edu/2025/05/22/the-global-risks-of-americas-most-favored-nation-drug-pricing-policy/Comment publication date: 6/23/25, 7:47 AMComment source: L E T T E R TO THE EDITOR
