Last week, the Spanish Club put their language skills and hearts into action! Students visited Cumberland Rehabilitation, Casey Health Care Center, and Heartland Nursing and Rehab. Students loved greeting residents and spending time visiting after each performance. They wrapped up the morning with lunch at a local Mexican restaurant, where students proudly ordered en español. That afternoon, students made an Ojo de Dios. ¡Qué día tan especial!

Over the last few weeks, the science club has been building a hovercraft that they could ride. Yesterday was the first trial. It successfully hovered, but it needs a few adjustments. The science club is looking forward to improving it in January. A second leaf blower for more power was discussed!

Mrs. Roewe's Intermediate Algebra students put math to work by designing parabolic solar ovens using shoe boxes and tin foil. By identifying the focal points of their parabolas, they determined where food would heat up the fastest and hottest. They also connected their lesson to how satellites use parabolic shapes to create focal points like their ovens!

Students in Foods III made fettuccine alfredo with chicken. They sauteed the chicken breast pieces in olive oil and seasoning. The homemade sauce was made from heavy cream, minced garlic, butter, asiago, and parmesan cheese. Students grated their own cheese. They found out how delicious a homemade sauce can be!
