After their guest speaker last week, geometry students put what they learned to use by building their own bridges and testing which team had the strongest one.



The junior high student council will sell hot chocolate at the HS concession stand for $2 on Tuesday (12/5) and Wednesday (12/6) from 7:30 AM-8:00 AM. Money raised will go towards their service project for this semester.

Darwin Bishop, an engineer with the DOT, visited Mr. Crawford's geometry class to explain the importance of math in bridge building.
