8th grade Science students begin their Forces unit. Students have cups without a bottom and must keep the marble in the cup while walking around the table!
7th grade students welcome Mrs. Wood, school counselor, for a career exploration lesson! This is one of many opportunities for students to think about and learn about future careers and pathways - thank you, Mrs. Wood!
