Mrs. DeSutter's Chemistry students are celebrating Mole Day this week by making moles. Mole Day is a celebration of the mole, a scientific unit, used to measure gases (which are so tiny that they fill up small areas so we need a special way to measure them). Students are going outside their comfort zone this week and learning to cut material from a pattern and sew the material by hand and sew on buttons!
Students - Are you looking for some fun on Friday, November 3rd? Come to the Blacklight Dance! It'll be 6:00-8:00 PM in the gym. There will be face painting, a contest for the best glow-in-the-blacklight shirt, as well as raffle baskets! Snacks and water provided. $1 cover charge.

Mrs. DeSutter's Environmental Science class is learning about invasive species and their impact on the other native species in different habitats. The students played the Invasive Species Game. Native species are different fish and can only eat their specific food by using a 1 spoon, 1 fork, 2 knives, or 2 forks. An invasive species is introduced to the habitat and can eat all food by using a binder clip. Guess which organisms went extinct and which took over the habitat?
Meet the Raiders will be held on 11/10/23 in the HS gym. The pep band will start playing at 5:30. The introduction of the participants in pep band, cheerleading, wrestling, girls basketball, and boys basketball will begin at 6:00.
