Biology students got to see first hand what DNA looks like from a strawberry. Students smushed strawberries, used a solution to separate components of the cells and then used alcohol to bring the DNA to the top of the solution.

Anatomy and Physiology students are working on anatomy-type science fair projects for the High School science fair on October 20th. Students have conducted original research in their English class and are now designing and doing experiments in A&P. Many of the experiments relate to exercise and Anatomy-type subjects.

Forensics students are also participating in science fair projects and conducting experiments related to forensics-type topics like fingerprinting and blood spatter. They will present their projects at the science fair on October 20th.

💬 Saying please and thank you
🧼 Keeping their tables clean
🚶 Walking safely in the cafeteria
🤫 Using quiet voices at their tables

Each week, one student from PK–3rd grade will be selected for showing outstanding manners and making our cafeteria a welcoming place for everyone!

Manners matter—and our Tigers are proving it! 🐯✨
