S-M Trojans vs Kremlin Hillsdale Broncos 7:00. Pm....  if not here in person catch it on live stream.
Look what just arrived 

Mrs. Green visited the 3rd and 4th grade classes to work on STEM activities through literature.
The 4th grade class listened to "The Invisible Scribble" while they worked on their sound waves artwork. They were recorded saying their names and given a printout of what it looked like as a sound wave. They made a design based on their unique voices and talked about why everyone's was different.
The 3rd grade heard about "The Great Eggscape." They designed protection for eggs with different landing pads. They dropped their eggs from various heights and logged the drop time. Three of the four eggs survived. Then, they talked about how animals can survive in different environments. 










Great Wins tonight by the Elementary and Junior High football teams....   The future for S-M football is pretty bright....
