Seniors made their presence known at Monday's board meeting. Board President Jay Matthews invited each senior to stand and share their name, parent's names, and future plans. A total of seventeen seniors, all from Cory McDonald's government class, were in attendance
Mrs. Macon's Spanish I classes worked through an activity called "Chain Reaction", where they sequence the cards based on a story we read entirely in Spanish. Each card has a question in Spanish, which leads them to look for the correct response on another card, and so on. Excellent practice! They did great!
During the week of Homecoming, the students in Advanced Algebra worked on a project that involved describing their drive home after school. Students were asked to write a summary that highlighted their speed and time. They sketched a graph of their entire drive home using those two variables, wrote equations to graph at least the first five lines using Desmos, and drew a map including street names and traffic signs. Some students went above and beyond, writing equations for every part of their drive home. They worked hard and did a great job!

The neat interviews continue for the 7th grade project that Mr. Rude and Mrs. Sanford are leading.

They talked about Mahatma Ghandi as a leader for peace.

Food Production I Class is trying a new Take-N-Bake Meal for our Chickasaw Cafe. White Cheddar Mac-N-Cheese with Herbed Bread Crumbs. We combined two recipes into one and tried it with and without homemade bread crumbs. We took some samples around to the offices and the final vote was with bread crumbs. We then froze one and will need to bake it and try it from the frozen to baked stage. We will let you know when we have them for sale!
