4th graders got the chance to bring working with circuits. Students have been learning about the different types of energy. Yesterday, they had the chance to start working with circuits. They had to make a closed circuit with 1 battery, 2 wires, and a light bulb!

With the help of a Mr. Manson and our Perkin's Grant Mrs. Schmitt's FCS classroom gained five new 7 quart standing Kitchen Aid mixers! They are beautiful and the students are looking forward to "breaking them in" as they put it. The older 5 quart mixers will be donated to New Hampton Middle School to use for their culinary projects.

7th grade FCS (Family & Consumer Science) students honed their knife skills by making Veggie Cars. All 40 students (in two sections) safely made a vehicle. You can see by their smiles how proud they were of their success.
