The 5th and 6th grade students built bridges using 300 toothpicks and Elmer’s glue to see how much weight they could hold. Easton Rieder was the winner-- his bridge held 153 lbs. without breaking! They all had a blast with this fun STEM activity.

Mrs. Birdsell's senior Entrepreneurial class hosted it's annual Market Day April 29. After deciding what they'd like to sell, students set the prices and advertise. Booths were open during lunch hours. Products included the traditional baked goods, mixed beverages, and fried oreos, but new this year was a photo booth. In addition to a valuable learning experience for the seniors, Market Day is always a hit with students and staff!
