Please take particular note of the MPH Phase 2 Travel Protocols outlining MPH’s requirements, which are more stringent than New York State’s requirements, for returning to campus after travel.

Working on a Loop
Pairs of 8th and 9th graders worked on “loops” in Geometry AC this week using more than 90 vocabulary words, theorems, and postulates. Here's how it works: There are cards containing questions and answers. A student picks one at random and asks the question. Everyone in the group decides on the answer, finds the card with that answer on it, and attaches it to the question card with tape. Then, a new question card is read and the hunt is on for the next answer. If done correctly, all cards will be used and the answer to the last question will be on the first card used, hence the “loop.” Take a look below!

She works at Dr. Gregory Sweeney’s office in North Syracuse. She is also a fitness instructor and personal trainer at Aspen Athletic Club in Cicero.
