The 6th grades had Business Day today. They started with a market survey and surveyed their classmates, then they had a business plan and discussed their products they were going to sell. They were successful entrepreneurs today. They were very creative and I am so proud of them.

7th and 8th graders participated in "Hungry Games" during their math period this week as an end of the year project. They experienced cooking on an outdoor griddle; pancakes, breakfast burritos, salmon fillets, chicken fried rice and cheeseburgers. This was made possible with generous donations from parents and students!!!

The 6th Grade made homemade roller coasters out of everyday items. They took Newtons's Law of Motion, potential and kinetic energy while building, testing, and trouble shooting where needed.

🚨School Play Alert🚨 Sure, you think you've seen this type of murder mystery before. A cast of eccentric characters meet at a mansion, only to become suspects of a murder that a singular genius detective will eventually solve. But what happens when all the suspects are the detectives? Sherlock Holmes, Nancy Drew, Miss Marple, and Batman are just a few of the guests. Too Many Detectives at the Murder Mansion is a whodunnit that will leave you laughing and guessing right until the very end. Come check out the performance tonight at 6:30 (FREE admission) in the HHS gym.

On Friday, Lesli Moylan presented Harrisburg High School with the National Green Schools Quest Community Impact Award for our recycling efforts throughout the year. The high school was nationally recognized for maintaining its recycling efforts even without the use of local recycling bins its nearest recycling center. About once a month, students from Mr. Geisler's Civics & Leadership class collect & sort the recycling. Dr. Weathers then takes all the bags of recycling to either the Boonville or Fayette recycling centers. Thank you to Ms. Ayers for getting this project off the ground. Thank you to Dr. Weathers for continuing to oversee the project & for transporting the recycling bags, and thank you to Mr. Geisler and his students for doing the job of sorting the recycling from the trash. Lastly, thank you to all the high school staff and students for doing your part. For its efforts, the high school was presented with a plaque, a certificate, and a $250 reward that we will use to purchase more recycling bins for the elementary and middle school, in order to expand the program district wide. Thank you again to Ms. Ayers, Dr. Weathers, Mr. Geisler's Civics & Leadership Class, and all of the high school staff and students! #BulldawgPride
