A summer-inspired STEM challenge in Design and Modeling! Paper towers that needed to support a beach ball! ⛱️







Hey everyone! This is it – your last chance to grab those awesome memories! Yearbook sales are wrapping up this week. Money ($15.00) can be brought to the office. Yearbooks will be handed out May 16th, but hurry, because there's only a limited number available.



6th graders in Mrs. Conklin's Design and Modeling classes made marble runs on the walls of the classroom!



Mrs. Conklin and Mrs. Wilkinson's 7th grade classes combined to create boats from cardboard, bubble wrap, straws, toilet paper rolls, and a paper bag. The boat that held the most rubber ducks before sinking was the winner! 22 ducks was the record!
