HMS Chemistry students became atomic modelers! Inspired by Rutherford’s 1911 gold foil experiment, they designed and built their own models to explore how particles interact and how atoms are mostly empty space.
The 3rd graders are currently working on their human body Amplify unit. Dr. Stacy Carlin from Family Health Chiropractic joined the 3rd graders last week to build on their learning about bones and nerves as an interconnected system. It's always a treat when Dr. Carlin comes to speak!
Have a great week, Hawks!
Congratulations to the High School Choir, directed by Mrs. Kristi Daggett, on their Fall Vocal Concert on October 27!
The evening started with a couple of beautiful senior spotlights: Kate McDaniel singing "Wild Horses," and a duet by Char Hibbing and Nathan Schreur singing "You Are My Shine."
Next in the program was the Concert Choir Women singing "Light of a Clear Blue Morning" by Dolly Parton, featuring soloist Laura Vargas.
A special shout-out was given to five students who took on the challenge this year and went through the All-State audition process. Thousands of musicians across the state have been preparing since August, but only 10% make it in. Congratulations to Emery Cammann, Isabella Dolphin, Laura Vargas, Alexis Baker, and Kate Rodriguez. Even though we did not have anyone accepted this year, we are so proud of their hard work!
Finishing out the evening, Concert Choir took the stage singing three pieces: "Let the River Run," "God Bless America," and "It's a Republic (if you can keep it)."
We look forward to seeing you on December 7 @ 7:00 pm for our High School Holiday Concert!
