HS^2 students went to Cushing Elementary yesterday to perform vision screenings for the elementary students


During this week's Green Day, Mr. Van Dyke hosted Van Dyke’s Variety Hour in the library! Students were able to choose between a variety of activities like using the flight simulator, 3D printer, laser cutter, books, etc.
These three did a 10 minute painting rotation where they painted on all three together.

Mrs. Graner's advisory went to Hope Street Ministry this week to volunteer their time to help winterize the units. Students took out window A/C units and put screens back in.



Recently, several students in HS^2 were trained by a KM Nurse and have now started traveling to the Elementary schools in the district to help with vision screening for the students. During the visits, classes of students circulate through the screening area, where they are shown letters or pictures they are meant to identify. This process is aimed to detect vision problems in the children in order to deal with them early on and prevent the development of others. The program also works in cooperation with Prevent Blindness Wisconsin, a nonprofit, state-wide organization with the same goal. Yesterday, the students completed the screenings at Dousman Elementary!

Last Picture Makeup Day coming up on Friday, October 3rd, 11 am - 1 pm in the library


Last week, the AP Physics students created projectile art!
Their goal was to create a true-to-scale representation of a projectile being launched three meters horizontally with an assigned velocity. This activity examined the motion of an object launched into the air, where the only significant force acting on it is gravity, allowing for the calculation of its trajectory, maximum height, range, and velocity at any point in its flight.
