Earlier this month, Mrs. Mares's physics class went to the bowling alley to test hypotheses, collect data, make inferences, and learn more about the momentum-collision theory. The class would like to give a HUGE shout out to The Alley and Jared Rentschler for allowing the students to bowl, have fun, and carryout the scientific method for real-life scenarios. They even got to walk on and take measurements from a non-oiled lane for better data collection!

Students in Algebra are planting seeds, growing one set in a classroom without windows and one set in a classroom by a window. They will be recording their growth data, creating graphs, creating lines of best fit, and writing equations of those lines.

From Coach Moser:
We are SO proud of the Dance Team! 💛💙✨
Friday night, our talented dancers lit up the floor and brought home 4th place in both Pom and Hip Hop! 🏆🔥 Their energy, teamwork, and dedication truly shined in every eight-count.

From early morning practices to perfecting every move, these athletes have worked incredibly hard—and it showed! We couldn’t be prouder of the passion and heart they bring to our school.

Way to go, Huskies! 💛💙
