What a beautiful way to start the morning at Will Rogers Junior High! A gorgeous rainbow stretched across the sky, giving us a little reminder that even the simplest moments can bring a little extra joy to our day. There’s something special about starting the day with a little color, a little hope, and a whole lot of school spirit! 🌈

Students had a great opportunity to hear from representatives from Homeland Security about the importance of staying safe and making smart choices when using the internet and their phones.
Students also got to meet Roscoe, an amazing specially trained dog who can detect and locate phones!
It was an informative and engaging experience that gave our students important tools and reminders for staying safe in today’s digital world. A big thank-you to the Homeland Security representatives for taking the time to educate and connect with our students—and, of course, to Roscoe for being the star of the show!

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!
