AROUND CAMPUS

Today was Anything But A Backpack Day, and there were plenty of interesting options. See more images from the week here.

Mr. Roberts and his Electricity students stacked five cords of firewood last week as a community project.

Chef B and her students sold baked goods at the football game to help the school's efforts to support the area food shelf

Newton's three laws of motion came to life in Mr. Buhner's physics class last week when students turned a skateboard into a rocket fueled only by propulsion. The propulsion came from students throwing or catching medicine balls. Starting at rest, the winning team (a.k.a. Fire Blanket) covered the 3.0 meters in 6.56 seconds.

The Dungeons and Dragons Club had a busy afternoon at their weekly meeting.

The weather kept them inside, but members of The Outing Club still found some good climbing at the North Country Climbing Center. 

It was a little freaky last week when faculty and staff performed their version of Freaky Friday in Chapel.
