Our Junior class was able to go to Northwest Iowa Community College today for Career Day.
Career Day is a time for students to learn more about careers that they are interested in pursuing after high school. Some career areas that students got to learn more about included nursing, engineering, auto mechanic, architecture, radiology, accounting and more. Students were able to learn about 3 different careers that were of interest to them throughout the morning.
Students then attended the college fair, where area colleges had more information about what programs they offer, as well as a time for students to as specific questions.
Thanks to Northwest Iowa Community College for offering this opportunity for our area students.

Our students participate in many hands on learning activities and labs in their science classrooms. Mr. Anderson's Chemistry class made ionic compounds from the combustion reaction of magnesium.
Students had to put the products through multiple tests to see if they had similar properties to ionic compounds. They also tested the melting point and conductivity of the product.
Students were able to compare and contrast different products and their relations to ionic compounds as a result of this lab.

Preschool Picture Day and Picture Retake Day will be on Friday, September 23rd.
Our High School Biology students spent today doing a macromolecules lab with real world application.
The students had to analyze "stomach contents" to see what was in the last meal that the "person" had before they passed away.
**stomach contents were simulated to make this lab possible**

At the High School our commons are used many times throughout the day for breakfast, lunch and study halls, but during class hours you can spot teachers using the commons for extra classroom space to spread out and work with their students.
Mr. Letsche's Foundations of Geometry class spent the class period working on their assignment on angle relationships in the commons.

"Team Up With a Good Book" was the theme today at East Elementary.
Students participated in reading activities in their classroom throughout the day. Each classroom also had a high school reader come read a story to them. The afternoon was spent out at the high school football field where students participated in different activities and watched a video on the new scoreboard where the high school students explained to them why reading is important!
Overall, "Team Up With A Good Book" was a great day!

Friday, Sheldon will host the first home varsity football game on the new turf field using the new scoreboard.
If you have been by the field, you can see the new scoreboard is a big improvement from what we used to have. This scoreboard allows for video footage. With the addition of the new scoreboard and features, some of our students are able to learn how to run and help with the programing of the scoreboard for game night
Mr. Maggert has been working with students, teaching them how to use the new program and to help run the scoreboard on Friday night. We are excited for Friday night and for everyone to see all of the new features that Orab Field has to offer.
We hope to see you at the game tomorrow!
Our middle and high school students have had some exciting activities this week. The Middle School P.E class spent time practicing their water sport skills with canoeing and paddle boarding. Thanks to our bus driver John Jinkinson for letting this class come out to his pond for this activity.
The high school had the Army National Guard bring in their rock wall for students to climb while also discussing the opportunity of joining the guard.
Thanks to all who help make these experiences possible for our students!
