Senior Trip Fun!
It was the 6th grade students' turn to share their life interests! Some of the topics were various sports, showing animals, different instruments, farming, hunting, and rodeo. The students had a great time sharing their interests with others. Many of the students brought in props to help others understand what they were talking about. One student even shared part of his John Deere collection with us, which included one Case IH tractor so supporters of red tractors didn't feel left out.
Makeup IAR testing for 8th graders will be on Monday and Tuesday, May 3rd & May 4th. Contact Mrs. Keller if you have questions. tkeller@beechercity.org

Sophomores in Environmental Science conducted research, then constructed and presented projects on an environmental issue that was important to them. A major highlight was that Kaycie Stefanski had her father, Ray, come in to talk to the class about solar energy. Ray is the owner and operator of Patriot Industries, a local solar and insulation business.
Recently the students in Personal Finance completed a Shark Tank Project in which they were to create and develop their own companies and products!
These two groups pictured below went above and beyond the effort of their project by designing the real thing! Lanie, Quaid, and Brittany made "maskables" - a mask that unzips so that you can eat and drink! Paige and Hannah created a cookie business that included their own unique labels and packaging! Way to go Personal Finance!
HS Track, JH Track, HS Softball and HS baseball practices have been cancelled for tonight.
Today is awards day! Look out for a presentation with the award winners later today!!!
