In STEM, students studied Bernoulli's Principle and folded paper gliders to meet the challenge to fly 15 feet down the runway. Some folded stunt planes and tested them. We have future pilots and engineers!

Students in Ms. Webb's 8th science classes recently completed labs on Newton's Laws of Motion. They used balloons, tennis balls, and coins to test inertia, equal and opposite reactions, and how force affects acceleration and motion.
Ask your student if their class is participating! This is a great way to give back to the community!
Tonight's event will be rescheduled to a later date. More information will be sent soon. Thank you for your understanding at this time.
