Third grade science made paper clips float! Students had to build a contraption using two pieces of cardboard, string and magnets. They then had to get the paperclip to the right distance to balance the force of the magnet and gravity. #force #STEAM #poweroflearning #bighornblue
Seniors! Please submit three photos and your senior quote by December 8th for your half page in the yearbook.
One main portrait photo - think professional portrait ( Lifetouch in Reno does Senior Portraits as do many local photographers).
Two candid photos - such as you playing sports, a baby picture, a fun photo that says "me", etc. They must be school appropriate.
A senior quote - it can be a favorite saying, song lyric or something that is specific to your senior year. It must be school appropriate or you will be asked for another.
