Today Mrs. Chaffin's class made crystals! 🧪 Students learned about supersaturated solutions during our hands-on science experiment. We mixed borax with hot water and observed what happened as the solution cooled. It was exciting to see the liquid turn into sparkling crystals overnight! ✨We love hands-on learning that brings science to life!🧡💙

The start time for tonight's National Honor Society Banquet has been pushed back to 7:30 PM.

This change was made to accommodate the softball players to be able to attend due to their game being moved to Marion.

Thirty-four models walked the catwalk and showed off their team's unique creation on stage. A special thanks to Mrs. Williams for making this possible for the girls to attend. Fun was had by all!🧡💙
