Susan B. Anthony was born February 15, 1820 in Massachusetts. She was raised a Quaker and her belief in equality inspired and guided her throughout her life's work. Anthony fought for the abolition of slavery. In 1856, she served as an American Anti-Slavery Society agent, making speeches, organizing meetings, and distributing pamphlets. In 1851, Anthony met Elizabeth Cady Stanton and the two suffragists worked to gain independence and equality for women for the rest of their lives. She traveled around the country advocating for women's rights and lobbied Congress every year until her death. Anthony died in 1906, fourteen years before many women were given the right to vote with the passage of the 19th Amendment.

Mrs. Poquette’s 8th grade science class is diving into the history of atomic models to discover how scientists built our modern understanding of the atom — and how that knowledge helps explain chemical reactions today! ⚛️
We’ve been talking about the idea of “standing on the shoulders of giants” — how each discovery builds on the work of scientists before us. From early theories to today’s atomic model, it’s amazing to see how science grows over time through curiosity, evidence, and perseverance!
Learning science isn’t just about facts — it’s about the journey of discovery!

Students in the 6th grade STEM class had a challenge this week to build a base that would support some weight. Students were paired up and given 5 sheets of paper ( 1 construction, 2 card stock, and 2 basic printer paper) and had to design something to hold weight at a height greater than 1 inch from the table. Wood was placed on top of the paper to support the text books. The winning team ended up with a structure that held 35 textbooks before collapsing.

All athletic contests have been canceled for tonight. Any practices will end at 5:00 pm.
Mrs. Ballard's atomic models were from the 1950's and were falling apart! Unfortunately, you can't buy these models this big anymore, and smaller versions are hundreds of dollars. But Mr. Hein and Izzy came to the rescue! Izzy created the designs from scratch on Solidworks, and Mr. Hein helped her print them on the Tech Ed department's 3D printer. What a great collaboration to solve a problem that all chemistry students can now benefit from.
Our 7th & 8th grade STEM students have been busy getting creative and hands-on! Students used the bandsaw to carefully cut out Christmas trees and other festive shapes, then sanded and painted their projects to make them their own.
Our 6th grader, Max, was featured at the Wisconsin Herd game this past Saturday after being selected as one of the top artists out of 2,900+ students from 30 schools across Wisconsin. His artwork was showcased on the game-worn jerseys, an incredible honor and achievement!
