Check out Mrs. Burkholder's science students dissecting chicken feet to learn about how tendons, muscles, and bones work together to enable movement. Students manipulated tendons on the ventral and dorsal side of the feet to see the difference between flexion and extension. 🐓

Ms. Jones’s class worked in building simple circuits using a few components— a wire, lightbulb, and a battery!— some of our curious young scientists even took it a step further to explore parallel and series circuits!
Way to go Ms. Jones’s class! Your curiosity and creativity really shine!
Cheers to our principals - Mrs. Libby VanDolah & Mrs. Natali Davidson - the hearts of our school community! Your leadership, dedication, and care make our school a wonderful place to learn and grow. We’re so grateful for all you do for our students and staff every day! Happy Boss’ Day to our amazing principals!

In Mrs. Burkholder's 6th grade class, students created “paper bones” that were circular, triangular, and square to determine which shape is the most supportive. They discussed how this supports the scientific concept of structure and function being directly related.
