Mrs. Bane's English classes have been learning about expression through poetry. To end their unit, they painted expressive abstract art to go with their poetry pieces. The students got a chance to express themselves through writing and art! ❤️
Rolling the dice has never been more electrifying! ⚡️ Students in Ms. Austin's science class used custom-made dice with different ions to create unique ionic compounds. Shoutout to our drama teacher, Mark Wright, for crafting these cool tools on the library's 3D printer!

Students just wrapped up an exciting powder analysis lab in Ms. Denison's Forensic Science class! They used everyday kitchen items like salt, sugar, and cornstarch to establish a standard knowledge of powders. The challenge? Identifying the mystery drug found at a crime scene! 🚨(Students pictured: Aura Sanchez, Zahmirah Parker, Kamaiya Lee) #ForensicScience #PowderAnalysis #CrimeSceneInvestigation
