Jon Mattelman is a mental health clinician coming to speak to families on the evening of 10/22 in the PAC. His program "Secret Lives of Teens and Tweens" aims to normalize conversations around mental health and equip families with tools to open up conversation at home with their teens and tweens.
The event is open to staff, families, and the community. It is being funded by the Trust Commission. While it is more targeted to middle and high school families, We think it is also worth sharing with elementary families who have early tweens and may have older kiddos, too.

Hi, please see this flyer regarding the Hazard Mitigation Plan Update.
8th grade PLTW students are testing "rocket fuel." Students were trying to find the most efficient fuel-to-oxidizer ratio that generates the maximum amount of thrust (propulsion) while keeping the rocket's weight minimal.
