A fun competition last week in Physics! And the winners were Diamond in 2nd period and Malcolm in 5th period! Their plastic straw bridges supported the most weight. Way to go!
The elementary students enjoyed building their garden and filling it with yummy veggies that we will grow and enjoy. The students also took the time to paint their own bird houses that we will place outside with bird food now that the weather is warmer!
