This Saturday we will host Sub-state Volleyball. The JCN team will play at 2:00. There will be crowd restrictions because of COVID. Only fans with an entrance ticket will be allowed into the games. Each team was given and equal number of tickets to disperse to family.
The limitation on crowd will be lifted for the championship game, when only 2 teams are left to play. That game will probably begin after 5:00pm but there is not a specific time set.
We are very happy that our girls are still playing and have avoided any quarantines so far. Keep playing girls.

Do you know what happens when you combine 100 toothpicks, a little glue, and a lot of thought? A "bridge" in our physics classes! As an introduction to forces, each student built a bridge. These were some of the most creative, thoughtful designs that I have seen in a while! The winner???? Cole Burk! His bridge held 110lbs before breaking! 30% of the bridges help 40lbs or more. Nice job, you guys!!

My chemistry classes are getting ready to do a lab in which we determine the empirical formula for Magnesium Oxide. The lab has to be carried out in a controlled reaction, so that the magnesium doesn't burn. To show the students why we wouldn't be able to get any good data from the uncontrolled combustion of magnesium, I let them burn a few small strips of magnesium. They were warned to NOT look directly at the flame. We did turn off the lights (once, and very carefully!!!!) to see the how bright the reaction was in a dark room. Fun times in chemistry ;-)
