B IS FOR BEIGNET!

Our 4th and 5th grade students were excited to share a special New Orleans treat with their fellow students---Beignets. Well, it was our version of them!

The students enjoyed them immensely! They were a very popular treat!

SCIENTISTS IN THE MAKING!

Our 7-10th graders completed a science project which included a research paper, experiment, display, and oral presentation. Some examples are as follows:
Ashlyn completed a study on pollution and its effects on our environment.
Trent experimented with dry ice as part of an investigation on carbon! He really captivated the interest of his listeners.
Corey told about Mold, and he shared his investigation of how mold grows. He also found that it takes a while for mold to grow on bread made with preservatives.
Erica demonstrated how conductors and insulators work. She showed how electricity can travel through the lead of a pencil.
Great job, students!
