Building Highlights

Biology

Students in Mrs. Hackett and Mrs. Ott’s Biology classes took part in March Mammal Madness where they filled out brackets, researching which species had the best adaptations and qualities. Mrs. Ott’s 4th hour had the best point average while Mrs. Hackett’s student AJ Nickens won the competition with an overall 115 points. Other staff and students around the school also took part and watched the bracket unfold in the science hallway.

Tiny House Update

The scaffolds are up! Our students have been working hard on getting the frame of the tiny house structurally sound. Proper construction of the frame is crucial, as it serves to support the entire structure, including the walls, roof, and floor.
