STEM campers in "Mind-Blowing Science" made oobleck out of cornstarch and water, then tested it as a non-Newtonian fluid to see if they could run across the surface. Under varying levels of force, the viscosity of the fluid can change to either more liquid or more solid. Fun!
Deep cleaning and additional building maintenance at Franklin. We greatly appreciate our custodial teams for their hard work and devotion to their school communities.
Summer STEM Camp is always a favorite! Rocketry, stop motion animation, and engineering challenges are among the popular courses. This week, campers in grades 6, 7, and 8 are enjoying the hands-on, problem-solving activities.
The summer scrub down is underway! This month and next, we will share pictures of our hardworking custodial teams as they empty classrooms, scrub the schools until they shine, and return everything to its place in time to welcome students and staff back in September.
We are always grateful to our community partners who support our students and schools in so many ways. The WHS Innovation Lab was created in 2018 through generous funding by the Westfield Foundation, whose members visited recently to see STEM education at work.
Board approval of the Goals and Objectives for the 2023-2028 Strategic Plan and recognition of outgoing Board Student Representative Patrick Lanza were among the highlights at the June 27 meeting of the Board of Education. https://bit.ly/BOESynopsisJune272023
