STEM Recharge Lab
8th Grade Science classes have been undergoing a STEM Recharge lab. This is a small clip of what we are doing in class. Students are putting together series and parallel circuits using LED and incandescent lights. Coming up, students will have built Solar Houses.
Mountain Climbers are
Coming!
The Mountain
Climber Award seeks to recognize students who have overcome difficulties to
succeed academically, behaviorally, or overall citizenship. The award is
focused not on students who necessarily achieved at high levels, rather
students that have overcome difficult situations. During the spring of
each year, nominations are sought from the faculty and students based on
these criteria.
It is the goal
to have at least 8-10 students recognized each year. Teacher nominations
will be used to create the certificate presented to students. A
recognition reception will be held that will invite students, family, and any
staff members interested in attending. It is asked that teachers or
students who nominate a student please attend the reception to read the
nomination and present the certificate, if possible.
The nomination form is due February 27, 2015. The Award Reception will be March 23, 2015.
