After diving deep into the concepts of force and motion, our talented 8th grade students have been hard at work designing and building their very own STEM pinball machines! 🎢✨ Students had to apply their learning while fostering creativity, teamwork, and problem-solving skills! From brainstorming ideas to constructing ramps and flippers, these young innovators are bringing their designs to life!
Jace Dillinger (Shrek) received 1st place with the most functional machine!
Jett Short and Elijah Olson (Mickey Mouse) received 2nd place.
Dani Riggs and Isabelle Richardson (Rocket in Space) received 3rd place.

Volleyball Update
Our volleyball teams competed against ICC tonight. The 7th grade girls were able to get a 1-1 split.
Our jr girls lost 2 sets to 0, but competed very well vs a seasoned group from ICC.
The sr girls also lost 3-0. However, the third set of this match was very entertaining. Extra points were needed for ICC to win 27-25. I was very proud of our teams tonight in their efforts vs varsity competition.
Volleyball schedule update...
Our game with Midland on Sept. 30th has been cancelled. Midland had a conflict with another school event.
We have replaced that game with a home game vs. ICC. There will be 7th, jr, and sr games starting at 4:30.
On Tuesday, Oct. 1 we will play Koshkanong at 4:30. There will be a sr jv game that includes the 9th graders, and a sr varsity game.
Ms. Stone's Career Readiness class had mock interviews on Thursday with Lucinda Bishop from The Bank of Salem and our very own Mr. McCarn. The students watched examples of good interviews vs. bad interviews, then practiced a few good answers for questions to prepare. Each student walked out saying they got the job!!
Congratulations to the Longhorns on their impressive performances at the Bomber Open Cross Country Meet! 🎉 Special shoutout to Morgan Newberry for her 9th place finish in the Junior High Race and to Missy Wilson for her fantastic 4th place finish in the Senior High race. Great job representing your team and showing what hard work can achieve! Keep up the great momentum
