Mrs. Rose’s 9th grade physical science students used water bottle rocket construction in April to investigate Newton’s Laws of Motion, acceleration, altitude, and engineering practices. The students did an awesome job! Some rockets went over 350 ft when launched at a 45 degree angle. When launched at a 90 degree angle, many rockets exceeded 250 ft! Videos @ https://bit.ly/4lVmGQ2, https://bit.ly/438OtoR, https://bit.ly/4cUHHGs. Mrs. Norma Harper-Irwin volunteered multiple days to help Mrs. Rose’s 9th grade students with the bookkeeping and financial aspect of their rocket building businesses. We had a BLAST working with her. Thank you Mrs. Norma!
Because of lightning in the vicinity of Viola, today's baseball and softball district games are being moved mid-game to McClain Park Mountain Home, where the tournament will conclude.
Today is National Principal Appreciation Day! Thank you to Amanda Brogdon and James Housdan for all that you do. We appreciate you!
