RV Robotics, Science, Computer Science, and STEAM ELD Week 19 - 23/2026

 Hello Everyone!

Are you feeling Fall (Autumn) yet, well it's here.  The weather can be confusing but changes like this are a sign of transition.  Transitioning mean a change from something to something else.  You could say our weather is transitioning to _______?

Aviation Career Day is in 2 weeks.  Make sure to get your field trip forms in.  Also, start finding useful waste that you can use to build your glider in class.  We'll start building and testing this week.  We'll also start your Career Search presentation and practice our interview questions.  What matters to you in a job?

Halloween is coming up to. So that means DARE Week and Dia del los Muertos if you celebrate these events.  More info to follow.
