Tomorrow's Red Ribbon Week dress-up theme is WEAR YOUR HALLOWEEN COSTUME! Please remember no masks or weapons and to keep the costume school appropriate.
This week in Mr. Brummer's Astronomy class, students calculated how big the sun would be and the distance between the sun and the Earth if the Earth had a diameter of 1 centimeter. It turns out that the sun would have a diameter of about 1 meter and the distance between the sun and the Earth would be 351.5 feet! The students then created a scale model outside of the school. The blue dot represents the Earth. Finally, they took a picture standing on "Earth" of a student standing on the "sun". The student on the "sun" was so far away that they could barely be seen in the original photo, so the class cropped the photo to make sure the student was there.

Mrs. Yates' kindergarteners learned the poem “Five Little Pumpkins.” They were challenged to make a fence using clothespins and popsicle sticks. Then they acted out the story using candy pumpkins. The best part was getting to eat the pumpkins when they finished!

Mr. Wattles' driver's ed class had a special visitor. SRO Phillips stopped in with his drunk driving goggles. Students were able to come to the front of the room and attempt to walk while wearing the goggles. Students remarked how difficult it is to maneuver "under the influence" of the goggles. Thank you to SRO Phillips for explaining the dangers of impaired driving to the students!
