Last night was the district cross country meet in Orange City. Several Rams had big goals of making it to the state meet, but fell short of their goal. It was the last meet for these three seniors. Our Ram runners had a great year and should be very proud of themselves!
Behind the scenes of Miss Petersen's Public Speaking class while recording the weekly announcements. Great job this week, Rachel, Calvin, and Caden!
We show you a lot of fun stuff that we do at the high school, but there's a lot of hard work that takes place here, too! These students are working on Pre-Calc and English 10 assignments this morning. Keep up the good work, Rams!
The students in ceramics are making all kinds of unique projects this week!
The students in Mr. Miller’s Construction Systems class added a little flair to the parking lot today. The letters were fabricated by Monona County Iron and installed by this group of students. Great job, guys!
Spanish 4 students looking for vocabulary word given by Gonzalo, our Spaniard foreign exchange student.
Today's theme for Healthy Choices Week was "United Against Bullies" and students in both elementaries wore orange to show their unity. They also participated in a schoolwide unity project and discussed kindness in the classroom.
Students in Mr. Christensen's Success class put together a proposal to build a geodesic dome to be used as a planetarium in science classrooms. Students were responsible for creating a scale model of the 11 foot structure to work out any problems before continuing to the final product. Afterward, students pitched the idea to Mrs. Maynard to acquire the supplies for the dome. Great job students!
Biology students investigating how the human body regulates temperature when exposed to an external temperature change.
Students in English 10 with Mrs. Paulsen practiced using symbolism and imagery on bird feathers after reading Edgar Allan Poe’s “The Raven.”
It's Healthy Choices Week in the elementary and the students are learning all about how to live healthier, happier lives and are participating in dress up days to celebrate. Today is Silly Socks day and it's safe to say these kiddos had fun with it!
