Over workshops, HS^2 students were able to sign up for an Engineering / Makerspace Bootcamp in the Library Makerspace! While the snowdays cut some of the days short, these students were immersed into this interactive hands-on workshop! Students built understanding of engineering careers and the engineering process through designing and creating items with tangible materials such as cardboard, microbits, circuit boards, 3d printers, servo motors, LEGO, VR headsets, and more!
Our HS^2 CNA students finished their three-week immersion training last week!

IMPORTANT MESSAGE FOR STUDENT DRIVERS – DRIVE SAFELY AND SLOWLY!!! Take particular care on highway 18 and the roundabouts at the intersection of 83 and 18. Remove ice and snow from all windows, mirrors, and lights. Do not drive too fast for the conditions. Use your headlights. Don’t use cruise control as you need to maintain control of acceleration and deceleration at all times. Remember 4-wheel drive doesn’t work on ice! Most importantly, give yourself extra time to drive to and from school safely, and go slowly, avoiding dramatic starts, stops or turns!
