Friday students from the high school who aspire to join the medical field, visited Tomorrow's Health Care Experts Expo hosted by MU Health Care. Mrs. Utterback organized this opportunity for the kids. They learned from amazing hands-on experiences and found out what level of education some roles in the medical field require versus others. Thank you to all who made this possible for our students!

Students in Physical Science conducted an experiment with shaving cream and a nail in late August. They used the scientific method to conduct the work and made an observation today and found that rust has grown on the nail. They will continue to use this process throughout the year for other work. As you can see, they loved it!




Our career class is taking the information we have researched and making board games. We are anxious to try them out!




Our 8th graders are conducting research and creating an illustrated children's short story about a specific topic. They plan to share these with our elementary students!







Our Junior High Cross Country season came to an end last night! These kiddos did amazing for their first year and we look forward to watching them do great things in the future!
