4th Grade Science:
Mrs. Cunningham students are learning about electricity. They they made miniature wind turbines. This lab activity is a part of the @AmplifyScience curriculum we use with elementary students. #HQIM #HandsOnLearning



Chemistry:
How were early chemists able to figure out what was present in atoms — without being able to actually see inside of them? To mimic this, chemistry students conducted an “Obsertainer” lab to share results and make predictions about the insides of their “blue atoms.”







This year, all JH (shown here) and HS Class Officers are partnering with the Booster Club. During Friday's lunch they met to discuss new and exciting ways to increase attendance and boost activity culture. Thank you to the Booster Club for including students in your efforts and helping grow their leadership opportunities.
