Happy 17th Birthday Caleb! Congrats on becoming an Eagle Scout!
Mrs. Neece's Middle Ages History class had the honor of viewing a riveting webinar featuring Holocaust survivor Sol Nayman. After the invasion of his hometown of Stoczek-Wegrowski, Poland, by the Nazis in 1939, Sol and his family were sent to a work camp in Syktyvkar, USSR. His stories and pictures of survival were engrossing as he highlights the dangers of Anti-Semitism and hate.

As the election approaches, it's more important than ever to learn how to respectfully discuss different viewpoints and be open-minded to ideas that may challenge our own. This debate allowed students an opportunity to practice these skills while exploring a topic that is relevant to the world around us. Some of the scientific debates in Mrs. DuPage's class included space exploration, vaccinations, and animal testing.
We welcome a future of Scientists in Mrs. DuPage's Biology Class as students experiment to identify if each solution is an acid, base, or neutral.
