Roller Coasters Were Amazing!!!

The students did an amazing job building their roller coasters this year! We emphasized the use of recyclable materials and their creativity was unlimited! While they all deserved to receive an award, we only gave out one each period for student voted favorite and I gave out two for 'Best Use of Recyclable Materials'.  Here are the roller coasters that received awards~

End of 1st Quarter Can Drive

Our 7th grade students are awesome!!! They collected a total of 9,666 cans for the 1st quarter. We cashed these in and were able to donate $124.80 to the Vilonia High School backpack program that is run off of donations.  Fourth period won the competition and were awarded with a pizza party yesterday. Let's set a goal of 10,000 cans for the 2nd quarter!

Lots of Learning Labs Lately!

We've covered a lot of material the last couple of weeks in our chemistry unit. We've had labs on Making Molecules, Oobleck, and Chromatography.



















One Week Left for First Quarter Aluminum Can Drive!

We have collected over 8000 cans so far! 7th grade students should be proud! We announced a couple of weeks ago that all money earned will be donated to the new food backpack program that the FCA is doing for the JH and HS students.  It is being funded through donations and we are excited to be able to help!
