Around the Halls
Middle School Student Council members added positive notes of encouragement to the middle school lockers before testing.
Huge thank you to Brittany Liberatore for joining our Health Science and Technology class via Google Meet!
She shared her journey as a dietitian and gave students a great look into careers in nutrition and healthcare. We appreciate you inspiring our students!
The middle school gifted program have been honing in on their Compass and map reading skills by completing orientation courses. Next step they will create their own.
Consumer Science students are exploring how metal products are made through molding techniques. They created die-cast molds of their initials using bismuth and tin alloys they formulated themselves—describing the process as “very satisfying!” Next up: making brass pennies.
Earlier today, our staff and families came together for a fun tailgate before cheering on our baseball and softball teams against Blanchester.
6th grade is learning how to make ceramic slabs and coils to making tic tac toe boards. Once done the kids will play a tic tac toe tournament for an end of the year party.
