Mrs. Murray's 7th grade science class is testing chemical reactions!

Today, each group did a lab mixing different ingredients together and measuring the temperature change. One group mixed vinegar and baking soda, another group mixed root killer, saltwater, and aluminum foil. At the end, they'll compare their results. The goal of the experiment is to see what reaction heats up the fastest in order to heat food in an emergency.

Mrs. Paul's 8th grade Social Studies class combined history and modern technology during their study of George Washington's presidency! During his presidency, Secretary of State Thomas Jefferson and Secretary of Treasury Alexander Hamilton didn't see eye to eye on some key issues. These disagreements led to the birth of political parties.

Students were tasked with creating a text message chain of what some of the disagreements might have looked like.

Lauren Smyth from St. Margaret’s House recently visited our school to accept a $600 donation from our middle school elective class, Creative Cats.

Creative Cats teaches students foundational entrepreneurial skills as they develop and carry out a business plan. Throughout the semester, students design craft projects, create handmade items, and sell their products, all with the goal of raising money to donate to an organization they choose together.

This semester, students selected St. Margaret’s House, an organization that provides essential services to women in the South Bend area. Way to go, Cats!
