This month is a very busy month with all of the holidays. We have just finished learning about and celebrating Rosh Hashana and now we are absorbed in our learning about Aseret Yemai Teshuvah (The Ten Days of Repentance) and Yom Kippur. The students had the opportunity to go outside to the stream near the school and participate in a tashlich program. I would like to wish everyone Shabbat Shalom and Gmar Chatimah Tovah.

Dr. Kennedy's AP Physics C class recently studied the motion of projectiles in one and two dimensions. They were able to accurately predict the height of their projectiles when given initial velocities and launch angles.  As a final lab practicum, the students had to determine all the parameters necessary to land a projectile in a small Dixie cup 5 meters away (5 meters is almost 16.5 feet). Were their calculations correct? Did the projectile land in the cup when test fired?  Success! They were able to launch and land their projectile into their cups!
