Lt. Brandon Murray and Deputy Alex Ritz visited THS Civics classes last week to talk about the topic of search and seizure as it relates to the 4th Amendment as well as other current law enforcement issues. The students really enjoyed the information both officers shared and the unique perspectives they could provide.

U.S. history students at THS were studying some of America's famous inventors. In that same spirit, they were assigned to "invent" something we could use today. Pictured below are some of the "prototypes" that were created. Just some of the inventions included are laser-guided golf clubs, glasses that allow the blind to see, and a minivan that can avoid traffic by flying like a helicopter (pictured in flight below).

Mrs. Thompson’s Physical Science students recently participated in an Egg Drop Challenge. Students had to use problem-solving strategies and a limited amount of household items to design and build a carrier to protect a raw egg from breaking when dropped. We dropped our eggs from approximately 20 feet. Our students had fun learning about the engineering design process and almost all of our groups saved their egg!

Thanks to TEF mini grants, students are able to take part in a Makerspace at the Grade School where they can work on projects of their choice in the areas of engineering, robotics, coding, technology, arts and crafts. The materials and tools TEF has donated allow students to think creatively, problem solve, develop grit, and learn to grow from failure.
