A few reminders for families:

Our 5th grade students put their creativity and problem-solving skills to the test during their exciting Egg Drop Experiment! 🥚

Students worked hard to design and build creative contraptions to protect their eggs from cracking after a big drop. It was amazing to see their teamwork, critical thinking, and engineering skills in action!

Learning + creativity + fun = a great day in 5th grade! We are so proud of our Mustangs and the effort they put into this hands-on science activity.
