Coach Tune’s senior leadership class recently visited the elementary school to speak with 4th, 5th, and 6th-grade students about the importance of respect.
During the talks, the high school leaders shared stories, gave examples, and encouraged younger students to show respect at school, at home, and in the community. The younger students listened closely and asked thoughtful questions, making the event both meaningful and interactive.
“It’s important to treat others the way you want to be treated,” one senior leader reminded the group. The visit gave younger students positive role models to look up to while reinforcing a message that respect is a value everyone can practice every day.
Mrs. Ham’s 4th-grade science students have been investigating the power of energy. Inside the classroom, students built small electric fans to observe how electricity can power machines.
The learning didn’t stop there. Taking their studies outdoors, the class built solar-powered cars for an afternoon of hands-on discovery. With the sun shining overhead, students raced their cars and cheered each other on, all while gaining a deeper understanding of how solar energy can be transformed into motion.
“It was exciting to see our cars move just from the power of the sun,” one student shared. The project gave the class not only a fun competition but also a memorable lesson on renewable energy.
Fifth-grade scientists at the elementary school recently rolled up their sleeves for a hands-on experiment in chemistry. As part of their study on chemical reactions, the class mixed concrete and poured it into molds to create their very own stepping stones.
Once the stones were set, students let their creativity shine by painting and personalizing each one. The finished projects were then added to the growing collection of stepping stones placed along the west side of the school near the bike ramps, a tradition that has been carried on for the past three years.
The Lady Wildcats traveled to Leedey this week to compete in the regional softball tournament. They represented our school very well. The outcome wasn’t what we hoped for, as the ladies lost their final game on Friday, losing to the Beaver Dusters and ending their fast-pitch season.
