Mr. Kovscek's physics students participated in a Chain Reaction Contraption contest this week at the Carnegie Science Center. This STEAM contest is a type of Rube Goldberg contest whereby students are given a task to complete in 20 or more steps with no electric power. Burgettstown represented well, placing in the top 5! We are proud of them!
Club Hope students Nick Lemmon, Matt Lemmon, Will Lemmon, Gabe Casagranda, Gabe Casagranda, Sunnee Riggs-Sanders, Ryleigh Riggs-Sanders, Grayson-RIggs Sanders, and Austin Michael coordinated a food drive that resulted in five trucks completely full of boxes of food for our local community. This food was delivered to the food bank for distribution. Great Job!
Both the Varsity and Junior Varsity Academic League teams won all of their matches this week at the Southwest Academic League competition at Chartiers Houston HS. The students held their own as they defeated some very tough challengers. Sponsor Mrs. Barliakos stated: "I am very proud of them, both academically and socially. Their behavior and conduct were a stellar example to all!" The team is awaiting the overall results of the entire competition. Stay tuned!
BAEC school counselor, Ms. Grasha, designed and decorated the elementary center steps with multiplication problems. What a great end "product."
