Members of this year's FFA "Greenhand" class, i.e. freshmen, traveled to Highland to participate in the Greenhand Conference. Upperclassmen led one of the breakout sessions on quiz bowl and served as group leaders to the 200 students from section one that attended.
Third grade has moved on to the Animal Classification unit in Amplify.

In Mrs. Steele's first grade classroom, students made a model of a spinal cord using licorice, gummies and rigatoni noodles. What a fun way to learn about the skeletal system in our bodies!
1st Grade has started the Human Body unit! This week Mrs. Hanson's class learned that the heart pumps blood all over our bodies. We also learned that our skeleton supports our body. Without a skeleton, we would be a floppy noodle.
We did an experiment to see how our stomach turns food into liquid and built a model of our spine. We are learning so much!
