Miss Ticarich’s class just wrapped up a project where the kids were tasked with earning money, going to the store to spend the earned money, adding up the total servings and every day they calculated the amount served per dollar spent. It was a good intro to financial literacy and economics in second grade and a great way to help the student council food drive. #SchoolOfChampions #GoodThingsHappenHere

First grade ended Valentine’s week with a science experiment! They placed candy conversation hearts into three different liquids: water, soda, and vinegar. They learned that depending upon the density of a liquid, objects may sink or float, and that acidic liquids are best at dissolving candy! #SchoolOfChampions #GoodThingsHappenHere

Our life skills class in the middle school made healthy ramen today. Even healthy food can be tasty. #SchoolOfChampions #GoodThingsHappenHere
