Hello Everyone!
Happy last week of February! This month flew by with rain, wind, and sun. It was an interesting month.
While Robotics is wrapping up their Expedition Project, Science class are also finishing their Science PT regarding Ocean Noise. Lastly, STEAM ELD classes are getting reading for the ELPAC test.
The end of the trimester is March 6, 2026. That's two weeks away. Please make sure to have all late work ready to turn in before March 4. That is the last day to turn in any work. If you post something new, email me to make sure I see it.
