AP Chemistry students were in the classroom at 6:02 AM this morning to celebrate Mole Day with Mr. Davis! Why 6:02 AM? In chemistry, a mole equals $6.02 x 10^23—the key number that connects an element's mass to its number of atoms. The students celebrated the occasion with snacks and custom tie-dyed shirts!
Every Tuesday and Thursday, our Fine Arts Department—organized by Mrs. Zimmermann—presents or performs for our Strive classroom during lunch. Today, members of the Pride of the Lions Auxiliary Percussion shared their musical experiences and performed a few numbers for our students!

Eco Club provides students with opportunities to help our community and environment through service and hands-on learning opportunities that teach students about responsibility, giving back to our community, and ecology.
Parent-Teacher Conferences are quickly approaching! Check out the flyer for details.
