The 8th grade Earth Science class is learning about different cloud types according to the shape and altitude. This is a fun project that helps the students build a scale model of different types of clouds and their relative location to each other.
The Et Cetera Shoppe in Freeman is running low on the following clean, gently used clothing: lightweight long-sleeved shirts, cardigans, hoodies, exercise gear and athleisure, lightweight pants, and dresses for chilly spring days. Therefore, the Menno FCCLA Chapter will sponsor a clothing drive on Tuesday, February 15 and Thursday, February 17 from 8 am to 8 pm. Look for a silver-colored Envision parked by the new gym door entrance to drop off the clothing.
