April the 5th SHCTC held a Balsa Wood Bridge Building Contest. The goal was to build a bridge made from balsa wood to see who's bridge could hold the most weight. Students in 5th - 8th grade from our home districts were invited to participate. There were around 225 students in attendance. The event was awesome and the students had a great time breaking the bridges. The event was captured on FB live, please check out the pictures of the event below.
Results are:
1st Overall - Ellie & Ross from Georgetown Bridge Weight of 8.7g and held 46.2lbs. for a ratio of 5.310g/lb - Strength to Weight Ratio
2nd Overall - Emma Schweickart from Eastern Bridge Weight of 28.5g and held 56.8 lbs. for a ratio of 1.99g/lb - Held the Most
Best Design - Danica Kirk from Eastern

Today, in Adulting 101, students worked on valuable life skills including reading instructions, following step-by-step directions, and practicing patience through sewing on a button! Weekly 'adulting' activities are part of Ms. Germann's English 12 class. Students were surveyed to discover what they still wanted to learn before fully entering the real world. Ms. Germann compiled their ideas, along with other valuable life lessons, to create Adulting 101. Today proved to be a successful lesson and provided additional opportunities for some class members to step up as helpers. Plus, it's now "sew easy" for them to mend a button all on their own! #loveshctc
