Mr. Lane always finds interesting ways to help his 8th graders learn and remember U.S. History. Last week, his students created all sorts of projects, including:
- Dioramas (landscape settings) showcasing the life of Zebulon Montgomery Pike
- Infographics (written information combined with graphic representation)
- Podcasts discussing the Supreme Court case of Marbury v Madison, which established Judicial Review

Last week, Mr. Walsh brought a group of 6th graders to Manhattan for the K-State GROW STEM camp. They participated in four different college classes for hands-on activities taught by professors.
The mission of the GROW program is to increase students' interest in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) disciplines. All students in grades 6-8 are welcome to participate in hands-on activities presented by K-State faculty, staff, and students. It was a great opportunity for our kids! #celebrate379
