Elizabeth is going to submit her piece to the Congressional Art Competition- but we needed a frame! Her unique work's depth made it difficult to find a ready- made one. Her and I planned out the dimensions of the frame. Then faculty assistant, Patrick, cut it out. Some fine gentlemen from the shop came in to help assemble it! Thank you! We are definitely Better Together!
Advanced Biology finished up their digestive unit with edible digestive systems-check out the creativity!!

Students in the DC Oral/Personal Communications class conducted a debate on April 14, 2021 for a panel of judges on the topic of implementing a nationwide minimum wage of $15 an hour or to leave it determined by each state. Students worked in two teams for the last three weeks to prepare for this debate.
Intro to Sewing students have finished up their masks. Students completed two different types of masks: pleated and clamshell.
The Athens FFA will be holding their plant sale on May 1st from 9am to 6pm. The sale will be one day only. We have hanging baskets, air plants, single plants and vegetable plants available.
4th graders in Ms. Kalepp’s class enjoyed doing a spring STEM project! The students had to build a fortress to protect their peep. They found out that the jellybeans were tough to build with, but they enjoyed the building process. When finished building, we tested out the strength of their fortress by placing books on top! All the peeps survived but the class learned that since the jellybeans were round their structures didn’t stand up straight for long with the weight of the books. The kids had a lot of fun!
When students work hard and get ahead in their work, what do you do with them? Let them work on a self-motivated art project- painting with Bob Ross! Love to see them getting excited over creating!
These 2nd graders did an awesome job on a project for library time. Both classes were introduced to Baby Mouse as a first graphic novel. Keep that love of reading!
21 consonants + 5 vowels = 26 most important letters that create oodles and oodles of words in the English language!
Here are some first grade friends using ABC rocks to put these letters in alphabetical order. You could even make a set for yourself at home with rocks and a permanent marker. Rock on, Smart Kids!
United States History 2 students showed their creative and artistic skills. They were to create superheroes who had been exposed to atomic matter. This was part of our Cold War unit. There were many great ideas but Madison Wagner-Durr created trading cards.
Students in Basic Auto and Home Maintenance are learning how to change oil and repair a leaky faucet.
The Ag classroom has been staying busy the last few weeks. The Biology class created 3D cell models, the plant science class has been transplanting plants in the greenhouse and this week we will be starting to make our hanging baskets for the plant sale, and Companion Animal Care wrapped up their Dog unit by creating paper machete dog heads.
Added diamond art to the classroom for those needing a little break. It's great for our mental health.
