Learning about energy transformations through creativity and hands-on fun!
To better understand the forms of energy and how energy transforms, Mrs. Boyd's Science classes designed and built their own Rube Goldberg machines. They put their creativity, problem-solving skills, and knowledge of energy to work!

Mr. Gregg’s Living Science class put their engineering skills to the test with a hands-on challenge: design and build a new “Hero Engine” that maximizes rotation rate!
Students experimented with different-sized holes in a pop can, filled it with water, and used the water’s force to create rotation. They had to think like real engineers—testing ideas, making adjustments, and figuring out which design would spin the fastest!

Students in our Native American Studies class are learning about the important role of clans in Native American communities and how clans can connect people through family, identity, and community.
To bring their learning to life, students are getting creative and making their own masks inspired by what they have learned. It has been wonderful to see their creativity, curiosity, and engagement as they explore Native cultures through hands-on learning!

Science in Action in Mrs. Boyd’s Class!
Students are learning about energy transformations by exploring and examining real-world objects! Through hands-on learning, they’re discovering how energy can change from one form to another and seeing these concepts in action all around them. All while using every day objects like hair dryers, yo-yos, and horns! FUN!

Students in Coach Wadsworth's class participated in a 7-station learning activity focused on Earth’s population. At each station, students read and explored passages about population growth, population density, and future population trends.
The students had fun throughout the activity and enjoyed the opportunity to move around, collaborate, and learn outside of the usual classroom setting!

This week, we’re celebrating something that brings our students and staff together every day—a great school lunch!
Our school meals are about so much more than simply filling hungry bellies. Our students enjoy fresh, nutritious, and delicious meals that give them the energy they need to learn, grow, play, and make the most of their school day. There is always something to look forward to at lunchtime!
We are so thankful for the time, care, and effort our cafeteria team puts into preparing meals. They work hard to offer our students meals they will enjoy while making sure they have the fuel they need to succeed.

Mrs. Laurin's Advanced Math students put data, probability, and predictions to the test with a little bottle-flipping experiment.
Students predicted the success rates of flipping bottles filled to 1/4, 1/2, 3/4, and completely full. They then collected data and compared their predictions with the actual results.
They also discussed how other variables could impact the outcome, including who was flipping the bottle and how high the bottle traveled into the air.
After collecting and analyzing our data, the 1/4-full bottles had the highest success rate!
Who knew bottle flipping could be such a great way to explore probability and data analysis? Math really is everywhere!

🏈FOOTBALL PLAYER OF THE WEEK🏈
7th Grade: Mac Marler
Mac Marler has been a cornerstone for the Zebras all season, making his presence felt on both the offensive and defensive lines. This week, he added another dimension to his game by stepping in as the team’s PAT kicker and delivering under pressure. Mac went a perfect 2-for-2 on extra points, helping the Zebras secure a 16-8 victory over Collinsville. His versatility and willingness to do whatever the team needs continue to make him an invaluable part of this football team.
8th Grade: Brodie Lenard
Brodie Lenard has been a dominant force at outside linebacker all season, but this week’s performance was one to remember. Flying all over the field, Brodie recorded multiple pass breakups, an interception, and a fumble recovery, consistently creating game-changing plays for the Zebra defense. His instincts, physicality, and relentless effort helped lead the way in the 21-0 win over Collinsville, proving once again why he’s one of the leaders of this defense.

Mrs. Stockle's 7th Advanced English students were hard at work in the library!
As part of our narrative essay writing unit, students practiced the art of creating memorable characters. They explored how character traits, personalities, motivations, and details can bring a story to life.
We’re excited to see how these creative characters make their way into their narrative writing!

Tech Ed Tower Challenge!
Our Tech Ed students put the Engineering Design Process to work with a fun and challenging tower-building activity!
Students were challenged to design and build a tower that:
📏 Reached at least 12 inches tall
⏱️ Stood freely for 30 seconds
📄 Used only 10 pieces of paper
📏 Used only 12 inches of tape
Students had to plan, design, test, and improve their structures while using creativity, teamwork, problem-solving, and critical thinking skills.
It was amazing to see the different designs and creative solutions our students came up with!

The Library: Where Learning Comes to Life! 💻📚
Our school library is so much more than shelves full of great books—it’s a place where students explore, learn, and create.
Some students are checking out a favorite book, while others are researching, working on assignments, or using the computers to explore new ideas and build important technology skills.
Whether they’re turning pages or clicking keys, our students are using the resources around them to grow as learners.
