CMIT North Academy will hold a field day for all students on June 7!
CMIT North Academy will hold a field day for all students on June 7! Students will have the opportunity to enjoy games, food, and friends during the school day. Students ARE permitted to dress down. NO HOODIES ALLOWED. Our school cafeteria will still provide the regular lunch menu during this day.
We will have 2 food trucks available for students. Food MUST be purchased in advance. There will be NO tickets or money exchanged on June 7. You MUST prepay for your food. The vendors are listed below and also attached for flavors:
Houey's Shaved Ice=$4 per serving
Shake & Serve Lemonade= $8 per serving
I have attached a flyer for each vendor. Houey's has various flavors that you may select from the day of. Shake and Serve Lemonade offers a 32oz cup (as shown in the flyer) and you can mix and match as many flavors as you would like.
You do not need to pick flavors until the actual day! You DO need to pay for your order in advance. To pay and receive a ticket for the vendor of your choice OR both vendors, please stop by Mrs. Upshaw's class room 221. Do NOT lose your ticket as you cannot receive an additional ticket unless you pay.
Payment is CASH ONLY.
If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out at any time.

CMIT Chemistry Honors Students Get a Sweet Taste of Thermochemistry
Last week, CMIT Chemistry Honors students turned their classroom into an ice cream parlor, applying their knowledge of thermochemistry to create delicious homemade ice cream. This hands-on activity allowed students to mix half-and-half with sugar and their choice of flavors—strawberry, chocolate, or vanilla—inside small ziplock bags. These were then placed into larger ziplock bags filled with ice and salt. As the salt dissolved in the ice, the students felt the temperature drop significantly, illustrating the principles of freezing point depression and endothermic reaction in real-time. Shaking the bags with enthusiasm, some students even broke into dance and invented creative mixing techniques to speed up the process. The result? A collection of delightful, creamy ice creams that everyone enjoyed. This experiment not only provided a sweet treat but also reinforced the practical application of chemistry concepts in a fun and memorable way.
