7th Grade Science students took part in an environmental education program called "Eels in the Classroom" this school year. Students learned about the value and importance of migratory fish through the ecosystem functions they perform. The culmination of the program involved releasing the American Eels that they raised in the classroom since August into Roaring Creek during the last week of school.

Mr. Kelchner's 8th grade Science students built and launched model rockets in the annual project that is part of the study of human spaceflight. After building and spray-painting the rockets over the course of a week, the launches took place on Monday, May 20. Students competed for the highest, straightest flight, as well as a successful parachute deployment and recovery. The highest-flying rockets reached altitudes of nearly 1600 feet. 🚀
The Class of 2028 (8th graders) have also been participating in a variety of celebration activities prepared by their teachers during the last full week of school. These include the aforementioned model rocket launches, a tug-of-war battle of the homerooms, a kickball tournament, a poetry competition, and a civil war field day featuring reenactors, experts, and artifacts. Congratulations to Mr. Kelchner's homeroom for going undefeated in the double-elimination tug-of-war tournament bracket! 🐯
