These chemistry students were doing a lab called Stoichiometry and Gravimetric Analysis. The procedure they used is similar to one that could be used commercially to determine how much of a particular compound is present in a large amount of solution. The students combined aqueous sodium carbonate with aqueous calcium chloride. This reaction produces sodium […]

Mr. Bunger’s AP Chemistry class has been studying the kinetics of chemical reactions, which is the rate at which a reaction occurs. In the lab the students reacted calcium carbonate (limestone) with hydrochloric acid and measured the amount of carbon dioxide gas that was produced in order to estimate the rate of this reaction. The […]

Habit #1- Be Proactive-Take Responsibility for your Life! In order to take responsibility for your life, you first have to understand and identify the habits of your […]
6th Grade students in Jenny Wallace’s science class learned how volcanic eruptions form land. Students simulated an eruption using baking soda and vinegar, then mapped out how the lava would have dried and formed land with Play-Doh. Tomorrow students will use another group’s lab and determine through observation and reason the order in which the […]
From the Desk of Dr. Stan Ward: Ah, the spring. In spite of the cold temperatures of January, we have technically entered the “spring” semester. For my senior students, it is a time of decision making: where to attend college, who to ask to the winter formal on February 15, etc. When students ask for […]
Lower School Principal, Sandra Fritcher, and Kindergarten student, Abby, share a special moment reading together.
Prekindergarten students led chapel this week with a very important message: “It doesn’t matter what you say, just pray!” When asked what do you pray about, several students answered that they pray for family, brothers, sisters, or teachers. Several shared their special prayers at dinnertime and bedtime. But the important idea to remember was that “It […]
Mrs. Bell and Mrs. Powell’s students are learning letters with their corresponding sounds in Prekindergarten. Learning is very hands-on in the lower grades!
Third graders are learning about the journeys of early explorers such as Ferdinand Magellan. While reading the biography of Ferdinand Magellan, they learned about navigation tools such as the cross-staff and astrolabe. Students wrote in journals about the voyage, the life of Magellan, and imagined themselves on board the ship. Several students in Mrs. Bickerstaff’s […]
Hibernation Day for kindergarten students was the culmination of a research unit about animals that hibernate. Students made posters which included important information about the animal such as habitat and diet, and then presented their research to classmates. On “Hibernation Day”, students came dressed in their PJ’s, brought teddy bears to school, and watched a video based […]
