Biology Class
Students created models of fatty acid molecules, in order to understand how parts of cells work. They demonstrated understanding by showing how the different parts behaved in relationship to water. By understanding a bit of chemistry, we can deepen our knowledge of processes common to all life.
Wearing Helmets Pays Off
Monday morning, the Andrew family were caught wearing their bike helmets on their way to school. As a reward for riding as a family and wearing their helmets, the kids all received a certificate for a free ice cream at Butch’s Deli in Blair from Deputy Bryan Spilinek. Great job Andrews family!
