Mrs. Andres’ 10th grade English scholars completed a Blackout poetry activity last week. Blackout Poetry is the art of focusing on or rearranging certain words in text to create a different meaning than the original writer has intended.  They were given a random single page from a book and had to create a poem using at least ten words on the page.  They added graphics to help represent the subject of their poems.  A nice showcase of their creativity!

Mr Klepfer’s Chemistry class used our brand-new microscopes. The scholars were able to view images through their cell phones and they discovered a new world.  Using chemicals, they were able to view pond life.  Pictured here are a flea and a paramecium.

For their final project in Interior Design with Mrs. Cordell, scholars created designs including wall coverings, window coverings, flooring, lighting, and furniture, to meet the needs of their individual clients.

SCHOLARS SHOULD NOT BE SIGNED OUT BETWEEN 2:30-3:30 PM

Need to schedule an appointment for your scholar during school hours? We ask that you try and schedule appointments on Fridays when the scholars are out of school.  We know this isn’t always possible due to days and hours of operation, however due to our driveline, we are not able to sign scholars out after 2:30 pm.  If you have an appointment for your scholar, we will need you to pick them up before 2:30 pm or wait until school is out to pick up your scholar.
