Here are photos of a few of our students who went all out for yesterday's dress up theme "Western Day."




Yesterday, students in Mrs. Lisa Hanson's Anatomy & Physics class worked on Heart Rate Investigations. The students did a variety of physical activities and then checked their heart rate with an oximeter. Some of the athletes in her class competed with each other to see whose heart rate was the highest.
