On Saturday, the Senior Class sponsored the annual Semi-Formal Winter Ball. Seniors chose "Hollywood" for the theme and we had a great "Walk of Fame" in the hallway with red carpets, Hollywood stars for students in attendance (with stars also for the faculty/staff who helped out), and paparazzi! Ms. Robinson and Mrs. Brower would like to thank Mrs. Kenyon, Mrs. Fallon, Senora Jeter, Ms. Reynolds, Mrs. Trevisani, Mrs. Raymond, Mr. Keida, Mrs. Hoke, Officer Kirkpatrick, Officer Pedulla, Mr. Hoke, and Mr. Zampetti for helping out at the event as well as Ms. Nelson and Student Council for some behind the scenes assistance!
On Thursday, Ms. Robinson's Astronomy class and Mrs. Martin's Environmental Science class went to Colgate University to see a show in the Visualization Lab! Students learned about the upcoming solar eclipse, what stars and planets are currently in the nighttime sky, and how life on Earth is related to the birth of the Solar System. Students also toured both the Geology Museum and the greenhouses at Colgate!
