SENIORS: With a snow day, now is the time to work on scholarships. All of the scholarships available now are on the Counselor's Corner. Do your own scholarship search as well and see what you can find. Take advantage of a day off school and knock out 5-10 scholarships. Let me know if you have any questions. Trishia Fischer

Today, general math students started a project on data analysis! They are currently collecting data of 50 dart throws and measuring a variety of data points like closeness to center, throw power, point totals, and accuracy of aim. Once they are done with their collection they will take their data and see what correlations can be made and identify the "better" dart thrower!
