On Monday night at the American Legion, these girls spoke about their experiences at Buckeye Girls State.

Mrs. Williams' Agriculture class took on the marshmallow challenge—engineering spaghetti towers strong enough to hold a marshmallow on top!

Students made tie-dyed name tags in Mrs. Minning's Physical Science class.

Students in Mrs. Mote’s 8th grade math class played a modified version of battleship to strengthen their graphing skills.

CCP Finance students created vision boards to showcase their future goals, including career plans, educational aspirations, organizations they are involved with, and the lifestyle they aspire to achieve. By mapping out these aspirations, they began connecting their dreams to the importance of setting SMART goals. Afterward, they shared their boards with classmates to gain insight and new perspectives, helping them see how their personal and professional ambitions will directly impact their financial future while encouraging thoughtful planning and intentional choices.

🎬 Media Day Prep Crew! 🎬

A huge shoutout to Caitlin C. and Brynn A. for designing and setting up the backdrop and getting everything ready for Media Day. Your hard work and creativity made the day extra special!

Nature is the best classroom! Mrs. Williams’ biology class went on a hike to observe the natural world. 🌳

Students in Mrs. Desgrange's Introduction to Education class researched and planned icebreaker activities to use in their future classrooms. Today, they led Mrs. Kopcha's 8th grade English Lab through those activities.
