2026 Homecoming Court introductions

It was a great day to be a Cougar! Be sure to take in all of our school events this week from Junior High to High School and supports these kids! Sad that we couldn’t get Powder Puff in but hopefully another day this week will work out. Our pep rally & coronation turned out either way. What a great homecoming court we have, and congrats to our 2026 Homecoming King Owen Penning and Homecoming Queen Kami Willems.

Students in Ms. Brinker's Chemistry in Everyday Life class learned about the chemistry behind making slime. They got to test out their findings by trying their own formula and procedure!

The 7th grade SAIL explored the Makerspace by creating wiggle bots. Naturally, there were some common features that were required but these kiddos created their own unique designs. They switched out wheels to explore the different marker patterns. One force we were introduced to was centrifugal force. Now they are working on modifications to have the wiggle bots move in a straight line.

The field is looking game-day ready for next weeks Homecoming high school football game thanks to Scallon's Lawn Care! Come out next Friday, Sept. 18th, to cheer on the Cougars as they go head-to-head against West Fork🏈🏈

Fourth grade SAIL took a turn with the Makerspace creating straw rocket launchers. After constructing and making various rockets, the students tested them in the gym. One of Parker's rockets consistently went over half court. Next, we will investigate why our rockets had different results and what makes for successful flight.
