We have had a lot of great kids doing great things to be leaders at Gary Elementary this week, here are just a few of the good things they have done so far; Kyler was thinking win-win by seeking solutions so everyone around her wins. She even gave up something so a friend could feel supported when they were down! Cruz was proactive and volunteered his free time to help a teacher clean their class after a busy day in science! Jonah was proactive and modeled to his peers how to put up their Chromebooks so they would be fully charged every time they are used! Before leaving to go to their next task, Jensen put first things first by making sure their table was cleaned in the library! Brantley and Gracie spent the weekend thinking win-win and synergizing by raising funds for Ethan, where they worked together to establish a creative methods to raise those funds and were able to donate $1,200 to support their classmate!
This is by no means the only good things our students have done this week, and we are proud of everyone as they practice their skills to become great leaders in our community!

It's that time of year again and we are starting October off with Hal-O-Grams! Order forms will go home with elementary students today. Additional forms can be picked up in both the Elementary & High School front offices. Thank you from the Class of 2027!
After lessons over Newton's Laws and torque, Rockets students worked in groups of three over the course of only three class periods to build a vehicle powered by a mousetrap. The objective was to achieve the longest distance compared to the other groups' mousetrap cars, and building materials were limited to what the teacher provided. The winning car made by Cooper Johnson, Katherine Philley, and Brooks Beard traveled 70 feet down the high school hallway! Working in groups to achieve goals is a very important component of our Rockets class, and the skills they practice now will help them as they build their competition rockets in the Spring!

Students in Mr Shadix’s Ag mechanics classes have been working hard to get the livestock trailer road worthy! They learned simple tasks like how to properly check the air pressure in the tires - and then fill them to the proper PSI. They learned about trailer wiring, the proper tools and ways to diagnose issues with the wiring. They also replaced all the lights on the trailer, learned to read the fuse box diagram and find a blown fuse on the Ag truck! These lessons will stick with them for years to come! Next week the trailer will be sent off for a new tarp!

Congratulations to our latest Habit Heroes; Liam and Jonah! Liam was thinking win-win when he recognized a classmate did not have headphones, and he opted to share so they both got to complete the assignment and Jonah was being proactive helping clean up a mess that he noticed in the front office without being asked!
