Book Blast books from our event a month ago were delivered to the students on Friday! Every student in our elementary, regardless of it they were able to participate, received at least 2 books to keep as their own. Teachers were surprised with a classroom set of books, as well. The excitement on the students' faces was amazing! Thank you to everyone who participated and/or contributed!

Picture Day tomorrow-Monday, October 20! Come with your best smile!
Today 7th graders kicked off their day making different cream cheese "smear" for bagels- vanilla pudding, chocolate chip, and chocolate fudge. When only given ingredients they had to problem solve how to make something yummy and decide how much of each to use ! They all decided that the gelatin in pudding made the "smear" taste like Playdoh!
Last week, Comet Connection buddies, the 9th graders and 3rd graders, got together for a science experiment. The students applied the gas laws to collapse pop cans by heating them up and submerging those cans in cold water.
