JH FB on October 2nd: The game at Franklin has been canceled for the Dragons and replaced with a 4 pm game at St. Edward.
The fifth graders learned about physical and chemical changes by making slime in our DL science lesson with the ESU 5!
We didn't have anyone sign up for the Ag Day at SCC on Wednesday, but there are other career exploratory days coming up.
If you are a 9th - 12th grader interested in any of the career areas listed in the form below, please see Mrs. Heldt about signing up for a visit. If we have at least 10 students sign up, we will take a van.
If there are less than 10 that sign up, students are still welcome to attend ONE of these career days as a school activity but the students will need private transportation and permission from your parents/guardians to attend. This is also true if the event is held outside of the school day (students responsible for their own transportation).
For more information, see this link: https://www.southeast.edu/admissions/visit-scc/index.php
The form to be completed by students is saved as: https://bit.ly/SCCCAREERDAYS
