Who had more fun at the movies today? I’d venture a guess it was these 4 hooligans! Chelsie, Ben, Cope, and Emily were maxed and relaxed at the Payson Stadium Cinemas today. Looks like they need a two week break. See you nutters in January!
The plant is known as Cuetlaxochitl (ket-la-sho-she) has come to symbolize the Christmas season with its bright red and green leaves. Did you know that this American symbol of Christmas is rooted in Aztec history? “It represented purity, and its name signified “Flower that withers, mortal flower that perishes like all that is pure”. The cuetlaxochitl was cultivated as an exotic gift from nature and admired but never touched.” (from Drink Cultura by Jose Antonio Burciaga.)
Students got a hands-on opportunity to learn about the mummification process in Chelsie's Anthropology class today! Bog bodies, Chicken Legs, and Chinchorro mummies on the docket.
Spirit Week is off to a great start with Ugly Sweaters! The faculty really knocked this one out of the park. So. Much. Ugliness. How can you pick a 'winner' from this bunch?!?
Sam Bouthillier won the yearbook cover art contest with his design. He also won an Amazon Gift Card to go along with his artwork. Congrats Sam!
The science department has been at it again. This time it was crayfish on the menu. For dissection that is. These adorable little things are Crayfish are classified in the phylum Arthropoda, class Crustacea, and the order Decapoda on account of their 10 little legs!
The first real snow of the season started sticking around noon and didn't let up! Students had fun slipping, sliding, and building in the soggy snow. It's starting to feel like the Holiday Break is just one week away!
The smell of fresh bread filled the hallway this week as students baked up some scrumptious loaves. Then, the competition shook things up when the students got to make fresh butter. The results were delicious!
