We appreciate each student who attended our first Superintendent’s Student Advisory Council meeting of the year! During these meetings, student representatives from throughout our district participate in thought-provoking conversations with Dr. Gonsoulin. These discussions are invaluable and allow us to continue growing as a district. Thank you again to everyone who participated!
🌊✨ Our scientists are making waves- literally! Today they explored how wave amplitude impacts energy, discovering that the bigger the wave, the more energy it carries. Hands-on learning at its best; big waves, big energy, and even bigger excitement as these curious minds dive into science with wonder! 💡🔬👩🔬👨🔬⚡
