This will include all virtual learners, hybrid students, and my face to face students. Any questions, please feel free to contact me at school.

Who says math is not fun? In Consumer Math, 7th graders had to create a game where they could collect data for a statistical question. In addition, their peers participated in these simple games. Data was collected and is now being organized for group presentations. It was interesting to see the creativity and/or simplicity of these games and how data can vary. Awesome job 7th grade.

One memory/highlight: "A vivid memory that comes to my mind is the time that I hit my first home run. It was during my sophomore year while we were playing at Owen-Gage, there were already two outs and I was up to bat. I had two strikes on me and I was under so much pressure because I knew the pitcher was gonna pitch a changeup. I took a step out of the batter's box to look up at my coach and he gave me a reassuring smile and a thumbs up to calm me down. As I stepped back in the box I felt more confident. I waited for the pitch and when I hit the ball I just had this feeling and I knew that ball was gone. As I ran to first base I watched that ball soar over the fence in right-center. I kept running and when I reached third base my coach gave me a big high-five and he had the biggest smile on his face. The best part was when I reached home plate because my whole team was there waiting for me as they all cheered to congratulate me."
9th-11th graders, make sure you log onto Zoom tonight at 6:00 to chat with some of your teachers and other students. We will have some fun with a game and the winner gets a 10 dollar gift card! See you there! The link is in your newsletter!
