Congratulations to Marlo and Taylor on competing in the Diocesan Science Fair! Their project was to build a Rube Goldberg machine and then determine if the mass or the speed of the ball had the greatest impact on whether they could turn on the light-up duck at the end with it!
8th grade students have been busy learning the Basic Scientific Method! They have designed projects about rollar coasters, Newton’s Cradle, chemical reactions, Rube Goldburg machines, magnets, and catapults!

A warm welcome to all our students and school families! Our school-wide theme for this year is “Follow the Path of Jesus”! Jesus has showed us the way. Believe in him; trust in him; follow in his ways!
Students often amaze me with their artistic expression! Each student researched a scientists – when did they live, what was their area of expertise, what thing(s) are they most known for. They then designed hoodies representing their scientists. These always turn out so cool!
