Junior Achievement
During session 3, Mr. Blocker taught the students about unit and mass production. The students had fun assembling ballpoint pens to better understand how to make a product as efficiently as possible. We look forward to his next visit on Thursday.
Halloween Party Helpers - Thanks You!
Thank you to Mrs. Wygonski, Mrs. Scehovic, Mrs. Szutowicz, and Mrs. Royle for planning and attending the party. We loved the mummy wrap, ghost waiter, and Halloween charades activities, as well as the interesting trivia! Thank you also to Mrs. Schoeberle for providing napkins and plates, and Mrs. Luna for providing drinks and cups. Finally, thank you again to Mrs. Wygonski for providing the delicious treats. We all had a "spook"tacular time!
