Who remembers throwing eggs off of the Tower?? 🙋‍♀️🙋 Today was an egg-citing day for the Egg Drop tradition to continue! 8th graders worked in their advisory groups to create a protective egg drop apparatus. This year, the students did a truly egg-cellent job and had a 100% success rate with all eggs landing safely! Truly impressive as they only had about 45 minutes and a limited set of supplies to work with. Great job 8th graders!

Alumni, did your eggs make it when you did the Egg Drop? 🥚
