🔥 Science Sizzles in 7th Grade! 🔥

Our 7th-grade Science classrooms recently turned into laboratories of fire safety! We were thrilled to host Lemuel Hubbard, the Deputy Fire Marshal and Fire Prevention Coordinator for the City of Raleigh Fire Department. The Mustangs got a front-row seat to the science of combustion through some high-impact demonstrations:

🧪 The Fire Triangle: Students observed how vapors—not liquid—actually ignite to start fires.
🍳 Safety in Action: Deputy Fire Marshal Hubbard showed a practical way to extinguish a stovetop fire by smothering flames with a lid.
🛡️ Real-World Connection: Students learned how scientific principles apply directly to home safety and fire prevention.

We want to extend a huge thank you to the City of Raleigh Fire Department for such an engaging visit! We couldn't share these amazing experiences with our students without our wonderful community partners.
