IBM Engineers, Mrs. Lacey, Mr. Hall, Mr. Reale and Mr. Dux, visited science classes today. Students were challenged to maximize hang time for skiers on a ski slope, by maximizing the cost of materials. The importance of STEAM skills, communication and teamwork were emphasized in the engineering process.

The Board of Education recognized the New York State Class C Champions, the Millbrook Girls’ Varsity Basketball team, at their April 23, 2018 meeting. Since the Senior members of the team were on the Senior Trip and other team members were unable to attend due to conflicts with sporting events, parents accepted the award certificates for them. Pictured are coaches, team members and parents.

On Thursday, April 5th the Second Grade Classes from Elm Drive attended an educational outdoor field trip at the Sharon Audubon.

Mrs. Doyle, Mr. Hammell, and Mrs. Jordan all chaperoned the trip. The trip focused on the process and history of Springtime Maple Sugaring. Students participated in 3 stations while on the trip.

First, students were treated to a fireside Native American tale of Chief Woksis and his wife Moqwah detailing the historical facts surrounding the discovery and early methods of maple sugaring. This included the early Native American use of hot rocks in a wooden Mokuk to boil the "Sinzibuckwuda" as the Algonquian's referred to maple syrup in their tongue. Students also learned about the use of the Colonial Time's "Lazy Man's Balance" to prepare maple syrup over the campfire.
