Junior student Kasey Cohoon was hard at work today in the STEAM lab using the GlowForge to engrave an image of his truck on a piece of wood. Kasey says he's excited to show others how to use this machine to make different types of engravings. "I don't think I'm all that book-smart," he says, "but I like doing stuff like this." Mr. Cohoon will work with other upperclassmen to complete several other GlowForge projects. He hopes to be able to make plaques and other keepsakes for community members.

Today we made Green Eggs and Ham in pre-k! We used fresh eggs from Franklin and Josiah's chickens! We talked about how the eggs look different on the outside than eggs we buy at the stores. We saw that like each one of us, we look different on the outside, but on the inside we are all the same, just like the eggs! The students helped crack the eggs and stir them! We counted each of the eggs as we put them in. We decided that like Sam I am, we like green eggs and ham! #elevate38
