This week, they took on the challenge of creating elephant toothpaste โ a foamy, explosive reaction thatโs as fun to watch as it is to experiment with. Students got to choose their own variables to manipulate, leading to some bubbly surprises and exciting results! ๐๐ชฅ
Science in action โ hands-on, messy, and full of discovery! ๐งโ๐ฌ๐ฉโ๐ฌ

I want to highlight an exciting project in our high school engineering class. Students have started a new unit on reverse engineering, taking apart small electronics to understand how they function. Thank you to all who donated CD players, coffee makers, or other small electronic devices. Your contributions to supporting this hands-on learning experience are greatly appreciated.
Additionally, we are seeking input to help name our Secondary Campus. We have shared a survey with students, staff, and families through Infinite Campus Messenger, and we would love to hear from you! Please take a moment to share your thoughts by participating in the survey here: Help Name the Secondary Campus.
I am also pleased to introduce Cortney Crouch, who has joined our district on a contract basis to support the business finance department by managing CFO responsibilities. With a strong background in public education accounting, Cortney brings valuable experience and a well-respected reputation. I deeply appreciate the expertise she adds to our team and look forward to the positive impact she will have on our districtโs financial operations.
