8th grade students traveled to Kansas State University on Tuesday. During the morning sessions, students visited the Sutherland Foundation Innovation Lab where they had the opportunity to design and print their own custom personalized tag, create a video using a Mad-Lib script and props, as well as visit the Immersion Lab where learning came to life all around them! While on campus, students were also able to tour a couple of the athletic facilities--Morgan Family Arena and West Stadium Center.

They will need to have a calculator, no food or drinks are allowed in the testing room. If a parent has opted their student out, testing will be finished by noon and the student can arrive at that time. If a parent plans to opt out their student, Mr. Pritchard should be contacted at 785-258-2261 as soon as possible.

In our quest to promote literacy and reading, every new book is like gold to be treasured!

When 60% of the classroom students register and invite 10+ friends and family members, that teacher will earn a $100 shopping spree. If 90% of the classroom invites 10+ friends and family members, the teacher will earn a $200 shopping spree. Visit https://app.booksarefun.com/HeringtonES67449 to participate!

Students learned about milling flour, seeing changes in the dough after adding yeast, and kneading and forming their own loaf. Students ate their homemade bread with butter they made on Kansas Day! Thank you to Susan Mueller and Paula Morgan for helping our students!
