This week the Metals and Fabrication class began their 10-hour OSHA construction course. Students will use days they are unable to be in the shop to complete this online course to earn their OSHA DOL card. This course looks at recognizing, avoiding and preventing common safety hazards on various construction sites, including real-world case studies and interactive simulations. Once students have completed their 10-hour construction course they have the opportunity to complete the OSHA Welding and Cutting certification course. This course focuses on maximizing safety, efficiency, and productivity within all aspects of the welding and cutting industry. These students will leave in May with the knowledge and skills they have developed as well as an official OSHA DOL card and a welding and cutting certificate.
Earth and Space science students have been learning about how energy is transferred and held by Earth. The students were challenged to make a solar oven that could cook a s'more in January. we had some pretty great results. The ouside temperature was around 55, and most students were able to reach 70 degrees Fahrenheit. One oven topped out at 91 degrees in about 15 minutes.
These 2 amazing young ladies earned RARE awards. One was a kindergarten student who earned hers for being accountable by always completing her classwork on time and with attention to detail. The other young lady is a second grade student who earned her RARE award for being empathetic. She sat by a kindergarten student and helped him read his book during walking time in the morning.

Mrs. Doty’s English classes began the 2024-2025 school year enjoying a wide variety of books thanks to the Stapleton School Foundation’s kind donation.
The challenge for the first semester was for the students to “Read like a wolf eats.” The students heartily feasted as evidenced by the following data.
Here is the record of the total pages read by each grade for the fall semester:
Seventh grade: nine students: 7,588 pages
Eighth grade: one student: 1,426 pages
Ninth grade: seventeen students: 8,367 pages
Tenth grade: eleven students: 10,670 pages
Eleventh grade: eight students: 10,220 pages
Twelfth grade: eight students: 3,567 pages
This adds up to an overall fall semester accumulation of 41,838 pages.
The second semester promises to be just as remarkable. Keep on reading!
