Buddy Week in
Lower School

The first graders teamed with third graders in the Science Lab with Dr. Perry and in the Mewbourne Math Lab with Mrs. Pointer. Teams worked to build a complete circuit, which made a firefly light up (a Christmas bulb). Topics included fireflies and an explanation of chemiluminescence.

Second and fourth graders worked with mystery beads. Students threaded beads on pipe cleaners and tested the beads with heat, cold, incandescent, fluorescent, and darkness to determine the cause of the change in the beads. Sunlight was tested and it was discovered the ultraviolet light is what is lacking inside the beads to change color. Scientists tested Dr. Perry's sunglasses to determine if the ultraviolet block tint really was applied. The school to home extension came with a challenge for the learners to test car windows on the trip home and sunscreen to check effectiveness.

Senior Places in Art Competition

The Congressional Art Competition was sponsored by U.S. Representative Louie Gohmert, and was open district wide for high school students. This annual art competition was an excellent opportunity for aspiring art students to display their best work. The District Art Competition reception was held December 2 at the Tuner Auditorium on the campus of Stephen F. Austin State University, Nacogdoches. The artwork was displayed at the Griffith Gallery for two weeks prior to the art ceremony. Judged by an art professional within the district, All Saints senior, Osub Lee, placed third out of 500 participating East Texas art students. His artwork will be displayed for one calendar year at the Congressional District Office here in Tyler starting June 1.
