New Academy Charter School had a blast participating in the “Hanging with My Peeps” contest! Using donated marshmallow Peeps, students turned their ideas into colorful and creative works of art. From playful scenes to detailed designs, each project showcased their imagination, talent, and originality.
Students had so much fun bringing their visions to life, experimenting with different themes and materials along the way. The finished projects were proudly displayed throughout the school, brightening our hallways and bringing smiles to everyone who stopped to take a look.
We are so proud of the creativity and effort our students put into each piece—what a sweet showcase of talent!

Imagine capturing suspense, mystery, and a complete story—all in just 100 words. That’s the magic of Stranger Sagas!
Students were challenged to explore the strange and unusual through short-form storytelling, crafting mini sagas with bizarre beginnings, mysterious middles, and unforgettable endings.
We are proud to share that New Academy Charter School student Damine S. entered the contest—and won! Her story, Run, set in a school’s computer lab, will be published in Stranger Sagas: A Twist in the Tale.
Congratulations, Damine! We are so proud of your creativity and accomplishment!
New Academy Charter School Civics students recently completed an in-depth unit on the Civil Rights Movement, bringing history to life through a walking timeline of key moments and milestones.
Students examined major events such as school desegregation, boycotts, freedom rides, and landmark legislation, while comparing the approaches of Martin Luther King Jr. and Malcolm X. The unit also included discussion of a documentary excerpt featuring Angela Davis, encouraging students to think critically about violence, systemic injustice, and the role citizens play in shaping democracy.
Through discussion, analysis, and reflection, students engaged deeply with questions of civic action, protest, and the role citizens play in shaping a democratic society.
This month, New Academy Charter School proudly observes Black History Month, recognizing the achievements, strength, and enduring contributions of Black leaders, innovators, and communities throughout history.
