End of a Great Week!

We are ending a week that was action packed! It was fun, but we're all ready to enjoy our weekend. It's hard to believe that we're approaching our last week before break!

The slideshow has pictures taken of the students during Science class. They were conducting an experiment involving the topic of pressure and volume of a gas. Enjoy!

We concluded our visit from Fritz Ottenheimer today, and heard from German student Theresa Bachmann. She was filmed with Mr. Ottenheimer. Theresa was 18 years old when filmed and had taken a year off after high school to share with students about the Holocaust. Her story was heartfelt, and we learned from her how it feels to be German after the horrific events that took place during Hitler's reign. One of the most important thoughts that Mr. Ottenheimer and Miss Bachmann left us with was that prejudice is poisonous. He left us with a strong and positive message to look at people individually instead of lumping them together and making one judgement about them. We felt lucky to hear from these kind, positive people. It was a great way to wrap-up our novel.
