Thank you for the refreshing afternoon!
In Mr. McQuade's and Mr. O'Connor's Chemistry class, students investigated the colligative property of water called freezing point depression by making ice cream. Students used ice and salt to cool the ingredients for ice cream to discover how energy is absorbed from the ingredients and the outside environment.
Thank you Mrs. Galow and Mrs. Thanasides for all you do to keep our school safe and healthy!
Thank you to everyone who came to our incoming 9th grade orientation at the high school. This was a great opportunity to meet the High School Administration & Counselors and to hear from current students about their experiences. Welcome to our future Cardinals!
