Prom Spirit Week! Grades 6-12 4/24 - 4/27

State Route 20 is closed due to an automobile accident, be prepared for an alternative route to the school.

Our Design and Modeling class explored and learned the functions of the software program TinkerCAD (a computer aided design). This software allows students to express their creativity and complete projects such as designing a name tag, creating a biome, designing an avatar, and so much more! Students can then print off their designs and turn them into stickers thanks to the Endowment Grant which funded our classroom with a highly operational printer and multiple kinds of vinyl sticker paper. Students have loved displaying their creativity on their water bottles, folders, and computers. Picture 1: Alanah Purdy working on a design in TinkerCAD. Picture 2: Sample stickers created by students. Picture 3: Mackenzy Cook, Natalie Sexton, and Breea Myers show off their name tag stickers. We are WR!
