Our fourth graders put their engineering and problem-solving skills to the test during our Egg Drop Challenge! Students designed and built creative contraptions to protect their eggs from a high fall.
Congratulations to the students whose designs were successful and kept their eggs from cracking! We are proud of the hard work, creativity, and perseverance all of our students demonstrated throughout this activity.
Check out the photos below to see some of the successful contraptions in action. Great job, fourth graders! 🥚🚀👏
To wrap up the school-year, iJAG students hosted a meal-packaging day in collaboration with The Outreach Program. Students practiced networking and communication skills by fundraising in the community to help fund the meals. Overall, 760 bags (4,600 meals) of protein mac and cheese were packed and sent out to feed individuals in our community. This act of service would not have been possible without our amazing local donors and volunteers-thank you so much!

Mrs. Schmitt stated, "Thank you to the Iowa Beef Industry Council for two grants (middle school and high school) totaling $1,500.00 for all of the beef we use in our food labs in the FCS room."

Cooking Around the World had its last lab on Wednesday, just before the last two days of school before their semester test. The students completed learning about Africa, and they made a stew called Chicken Mafe. It had cabbage, carrots, onions, potatoes, tomato paste, chicken thighs, spices, and peanut butter. At first the students were not sure, so Mrs. Schmitt ate the first bite and declared it delicious. The rest followed, and some even had seconds.
Foods II finished strong this year with grilling chicken for their poultry unit. They had perfect weather, even though it was a little cold outside, on Wednesday to grill chicken breast. The students used a meat thermometer to make sure they were 165 degrees. Mrs. Schmitt also showed them how to check their chicken if they do not have a thermometer at home.
Congratulations to the 4th grade class on successfully completing elementary school!

7th graders went to watch a movie at the Sumner Sunset Theater for their quarter reward party.
Check out 5th graders having fun during their 4th quarter reward at the Sportsplex in Waterloo!
One of the traditions we have is sending our 8th graders to Palmer’s Family center for their final quarter activity. We think they had some fun today
