⚾️🏆 Tivitz Tournament 2026 🏆⚾️ Today 124 students in grades 3-5 stepped up to the plate for our 2nd annual Tivitz Tournament! The competition was fierce but the day was a total grand slam! ⚾️ #Tivitz #MajorLeagueMath

Garden-to-table kind of day 🥬 Harvested our lettuce, added some carrots, and taste-tested a few dressings. Fresh never disappoints. @FAITC @SchwarzkopfElem

3rd, 4th & 5th graders are stepping up to the plate with TiViTz ⚾️, a baseball-themed strategy game that builds critical thinking & problem solving skills. @SchwarzkopfElem @HCPSElemMath1 #TiViTzTuesday #MathStrategy #CriticalThinking #GameBasedLearning

We are SOOOOO excited for Strategy Lab to kick off in January! 🎉 Thanks to @HillsboroughEd we have all of these awesome new brain games and we can’t wait to play them all! 🧠🎲

Ready, set, repel! 🏎️💚 4th graders explored magnetic attraction & repulsion by building race cars powered by magnets. #MagneticMotion #4thGradeScience #STEMFun @HCPSElemScience @WeAreHAEST

Schwarzkopf’s Green Team was hard at work today collecting recycling around campus! Thank you for helping keep our school clean and green! 🌎💚

Magnets, mazes, & mind power! 🧠🧲 4th graders learned how barriers impact magnetic attraction by creating their own magnetic maze challenges. @HCPSElemScience @WeAreHAEST @TampaBaySTEM

🧡🖤

Full Force Fun!💪🎲 5th graders showed off their understanding of balanced & unbalanced forces by taking on a variety of games, proving that science really is all around us! #STEM #ForceAndMotion #HandsOnLearning

5th graders played Minute to Win It: Field Goal Challenge to explore how balanced and unbalanced forces affect movement. #STEMtober #minutetowinit @HCPSElemScience @WeAreHAEST

3rd–5th book club brought The Mystery of Locked Rooms by @lindsayncurrie to life! 🔦 Using their knowledge of how light travels, students tackled a laser maze challenge. 💡📚 #STEMEducation #STEMtober #BookClub

Our first Strategy Lab was a success! Students learned the classic game Othello and put their strategic thinking to the test. Let the games begin! 🎯♟️

🌱🔌 October is #EnergyAwarenessMonth! Students @SchwarzkopfElem are learning to conserve energy, reduce waste, & make sustainable choices. Every small action counts. Let’s power a brighter tomorrow! Learn more: hillsboroughschools.org/energy #HCPSGreenTeam #powerED

👻🎶 4th graders wrapped up their science unit on sound with a #STEMtober project! Using @makeymakey & @scratch Ss coded spooky pianos. 🧪💻🎹 @HCPS_STEM @HCPSElemScience

🌱 The @SchwarzkopfElem Green Team is bringing the hydroponic garden back to life! Big progress today—stay tuned to watch it grow. 🌿💧@HCPSElemScience @WeAreHAEST @FAITC

🎢 5th graders explored mechanical energy by designing, building & testing marble roller coasters—full of twists, turns & teamwork! #STEM #FutureEngineers @HCPSElemScience @WeAreHAEST @TampaBaySTEM

Fourth graders put the Engineering Design Cycle to the test—building catapults to see whose marshmallow could fly the farthest! 🚀 #STEM #FutureEngineers @HCPSElemScience

Huge thanks to @sproutsfnd for the generous $8,000 grant! 🌈🌱 We can’t wait to grow the @SchwarzkopfElem Rainbow Garden and inspire our students through hands-on learning. 💚 #SproutsHealthyCommunities

While learning about properties of matter, students tried our first lemon cucumber from the @SchwarzkopfElem garden! @WeAreHAEST @HCPSElemScience @FAITC @freshfromFL
