Week of March 6th to March 10th

Our interview with Superintendent Dr. Robert Ackell was held on Tuesday, February 28th.  The students did a great job and enjoyed getting to know a little bit more about our superintendent.

The high school field trip was a great success.  We were able to observe and participate in Broadcast Journalism, AP Calculus, Sculpting, Computer-Aided Design, and AP English.  The students got to experience much of what being a high school student will be like.

The elementary gifted support students will be sending a team to the K’Nex challenge at Intermediate Unit 29 in Pottsville on March 23.  All the students will be helping with the challenge with a team of 4 attending the competition.  The challenge is to create a ride using K’Nex for an environmentally friendly new amusement park.

The planning for our trip to the Intermediate Unit’s new Maker Space is complete.  Sixth grade students will go on Monday, March 20, and third, fourth, and fifth grade students will go on Tuesday, March 21.  This is a new area at the IU that offers resources to further explore topics like Art & Music, Coding & Robotics, Electricity, Science, and Mathematics & English Language Arts.  We will be visiting later in March.  More details will be given soon.
