This week has been so fun. It started with 5th grade student participating in science labs prepared by the Chemistry students. The Chemistry students developed labs thant introduced students to chromatography, series and parallel circuits, elephant toothpaste, and endothermic and exothermic reactions by making ice cream.
Mrs.Burnside and her FCS classes treated the JR and SR high school students and teachers to some hot chocolate and home made goodies. We wish you all a Merry Christmas!
