Our 2nd graders, led by Chelsea Wyss, put on a wonderful program on Wednesday, April 15th! Their performance was inspired by the book Rhythm of the Rain and beautifully brought the story to life.
Students sang, played instruments, and helped narrate the story while incorporating songs that connected to the theme. It was a creative and engaging performance that showcased their hard work and talent.
They did a fantastic job, and we are so proud of their effort and enthusiasm! 🎶🌧️

Our Physical Science students are diving into chemical bonding! 🧪
Through hands-on modeling, they are exploring how elements become ions and what happens during that process.

Our Chemistry students have been hard at work bringing science to life! 🧪
Students explored what a mole of a pure substance looks like across different materials, gaining a better understanding of just how massive 6.02 x 10²³ particles really is.
They also put their measurement skills to the test by analyzing objects to determine how many atoms or molecules they contain.

The order deadline is April 5, and shirts will be delivered to the school and sent home with students and staff. An image of the shirt is attached. Two dollars from each shirt sold will be donated to Ohio Military Kids, a nonprofit organization that provides programs and support for military-connected youth across the state.
If you have any questions or ideas, we would love to hear from you.

Environmental Science finished up our study of agriculture. In our final lab, students checked how soil salinization (from irrigation) can affect seed germination. We used soybeans placed in salinity conditions of 0%, 0.5%, 1%, 1.5%, and 2%. Then, students checked their soybeans for germination on day three. Class data indicated that seed germination is severely affected at salt levels above 1.5%.
