Time To Check The Lost & Found

Items in the overflowing Lost & Found in the West Campus (US) Cafeteria will soon be donated to charity.  The Key Club will be making the donation of any remaining items on Friday, April 17, so stop by to claim your missing items!

 

 8th Grade students Julius Thompson, Madeline Marthinson and Isabella Schmid chose a simple machine and developed a prezi (a presentation of text and visuals similar to a Power Point) on it to present to their Physical Science class.

Our own Alex Trebeck, a.k.a teacher Daniel Thompson, hosted a rousing game of Jeopardy during Tuesday's Activity Period.  It was the seniors from Rolling Green Retirement Center against our seniors - the Class of 2015!  Donations raised during the event will benefit the Shannon Forest Hunger Project.
