Our 5th graders have been working on engineering projects by using the Design process. Students were assigned specific tasks to accomplish with constraints they needed to work around. The students also incorporated littleBit modules into their engineering projects, creating an authentic experience in using engineering to make work more efficient. Students designed a conveyor-belt pet food machine, energy saving shower timer, an electric password saver, motorized school supply pulley system, and so many other creative projects.

Congratulations to 7th grader Jose and 8th grader Kaitlyn for being recognized as this week's Shining Knights. Both of these students can light up any room!

Our 7-8th grade students put on a Mardi Gras Marketplace for their Lenten Service project today! Our other students could purchase food items or play games. Items varied in cost from $.50-$2.00. The 7/8th graders worked hard planning, promoting, producing and selling their items. This year the 7/8th grade students chose the proceeds to benefit our very own 4th grade teacher Mrs. Bastyr who is bravely battling Pancreatic Cancer. She has touched all of our student's lives, and we are glad to be able to support her in her journey.
