Our Chemistry classes celebrated Mole Day today, October 19th! Although Mole Day is typically celebrated on October 23, we switched days to work around other school activities.
Mole Day celebrates Avogadro’s number, and our students had a blast celebrating with mole cupcakes, mole dirt, guaca-mole, and several other treats! They also played Pin the Tail on the Mole and a version of Capture the Flag where they had to build a helium atom.
Two highlights were the class T-shirts and a 3D-printed mole!
A big thank-you to our sophomores and juniors for their creativity and for making this a fun and memorable celebration!

Our 6th grade students have been putting their creativity, problem-solving, and teamwork to the test as they work on building their own bridges! The students are designing and constructing bridges while testing just how much weight their creations can hold.
It’s been a fun, hands-on way for students to explore engineering concepts, learn from their designs, and see what happens when their bridges are put to the test! Great job, 6th grade!
