Ms. Watson’s students built irrigation systems to understand how early civilizations started the agricultural development. They had to build canals and levees to help water their crops without flooding from the river.

Congratulations to these students for earning the 3rd Nine Weeks AR Reward! 📚

Mrs. Johnston's Agriculture Engineering classes spent several weeks learning about the life cycle of a chicken as well as incubating and hatching baby chicks. Students that met certain criteria were allowed to adopt a chicken and take it home. 🐤

Yearbook order forms were recently sent home with students. Be sure to return the form and money by April 27th as no late orders will be accepted.

Students in Mrs. Kumar's class took a hands-on approach to learning about mean, median, mode, and range!

Using a deck of cards, students generated their own data sets, worked together to organize the numbers, and calculated each measure of central tendency and range. The activity gave them a fun way to practice sorting numbers, finding patterns, and applying what they’ve learned!

Mrs. Allgood's 5th period class constructed compound-complex sentences out of the different components of the sentence type.

Shoutout to Paxton Hendricks for cashing in 500 shillings to become Coach of the Day with Coach Ezell & Coach Sixbey! Paxton's favorite part of the day was getting to play dodgeball with the 3rd period class and basketball with 7th period. Keep up the good work!

March is Music In Our Schools Month! Come celebrate with us at our Orchestra concert on Thursday, March 12th at 6:30PM in EHS auditorium! Free to all!

The 6th grade science students learned about why there is blood in all of these places in the body. To further understand this concept, students constructed a model of the different components of blood. Students were able to figure out that corn syrup was used for plasma, sprinkles for platelets, marshmallows for white blood cells, and the cinnamon discs for red blood cells. Students were able to identify that red blood cells are denser than plasma.

Shoutout to Hayes Lester for cashing in his shillings to become Teacher of the Day with Mr. Rynders! 👏 This special reward costs 500 shillings at our Knights Market, and students work hard saving up to earn the opportunity. Great job showing dedication and making the most of your shillings!

Huge thank you to Williams Orthodontics in El dorado for always ensuring the chocolate fairy visits regularly for our staff! 🦷🍫
