August Board Meeting----- https://www.facebook.com/reel/1108979357315635
Students in 7th and 8th grade Science practiced the Scientific Method today by performing experiments. 7th grade: How does temperature affect glow stick brightness? 8th grade: How many drops of water can fit on a penny?





Students in 7th and 8th grade Science met Lab Safety Lola today. She's not a great role model, but I think they still learned a few things from her.



Bus 3 for Illini is running about 5-10 minutes behind this morning.
Reminder: Wednesday, August 20th is early dismissal. Grant will be dismissed at 1:20 & Illini will be dismissed at 1:50. We will have early dismissal every Wednesday.
Today was Lodge Induction and Cabin Bootcamp Day.








Our eighth graders stepped up and owned their mentorship roles today. They welcomed 5th-7th graders to their lodges. Our staff worked to make it a great day, and it truly was a great first Friday back.









We want to say a huge thank you to SA Troop 585 of Fairview Heights for their additions to Ella’s butterfly garden this summer. They raised money for a custom wooden sign, a picnic table, and supplies to make benches and raised beds. They worked hard in the summer heat putting it all together and staining! We are looking forward to planting in the new beds this fall. Awesome job and thanks for helping our garden grow!
