The first group of students have been chosen as students of the month for September. These students have impressed their teachers in the short time that they have been in their classes.
Teachers often nominate students who are respectful and helpful to their peers, are responsible in their classwork, and create a positive classroom environment with their great attitudes. This can definitely be said about the kids chosen this month.
The students are
Biology students and their parents hiked the switch back in Woodland Hills to collect woody plants for their biological collection. It was a great hike. These are the brave souls that made it to the top! It was a great day!
Students will be pressing the plants in their collection and creating a binder that identifies each plant that they found during their hike.
Congratulations to Ammon Wallace who was chosen from more than 6,000 students to be in Broadcom Masters' top 300 students for his science fair submission. Some of you will remember last year when we posted about Ammon's project that explored the possibility of extending the shelf-life of milk using blue light. We were impressed with Ammon's creative solution and it turns out that so were the judges.

School has begun and so the math department has issued its first challenge to our students. The first three Math Muncher problems have been posted. For those who are new to our school, every month the math department posts three math problems on their bulletin board. Each problem is worth tickets to enter a drawing to win a gift card courtesy the math department.
Mr. Roberts will be holding an informational meeting for all students interested in joining our school's golf team. Anybody interested in learning more about the great game of golf is encouraged to attend. The meeting will be August 25th at 3:00 in the library.
In 9th grade English students made "clickbait headlines" to describe an event from their summer. The point is to get people interested in the story by creating an exaggerated headline. Tomorrow students will interview each other and get the real story.
Come to Mrs. Ashton's room in 108 for an informational meeting about Cross Country Thursday, the 24th. We have a great tradition of large teams for Cross Country and we hope that we can get a lot of kids this year as well. It's a great opportunity to get exercise and make new friends. Cross Country starts next week.
