HS Food Science Class!
In Mrs. Ward's Food Science class, students are diving into food safety with a hands-on lab focused on bacterial growth. They’re cultivating bacteria from meat and spinach samples stored under different conditions: some left at room temperature on the counter for 24 hours, and others kept in the refrigerator. After incubation, students are observing and comparing bacterial colonies on Petri dishes filled with nutrient-rich agar. Through this experiment, they gain insights into how storage conditions impact bacterial growth and learn valuable lessons on safe food handling practices.
Check out PHS Chemistry!
In Mrs. Ward’s Intro to Chemistry class, students are uncovering the roots of chemistry through early human practices. Last week, they explored the intriguing process of lactic acid fermentation—a preservation method used by ancient civilizations to keep vegetables safe and flavorful. Through hands-on activities, students are discovering how chemistry has shaped daily life for thousands of years and how lactic acid bacteria naturally transform fresh vegetables into delicious, tangy pickles.

Robyn Taylor, Superintendent
You may have noticed ongoing construction activity with heavy equipment operating at the Catholic Church site in front of the school entrance.
The contractor expects to need this equipment for another 1–2 days. For the safety of our students, we encourage families to plan to pick up and drop off their children at either Dolphin and 3rd Street or Dolphin and 5th Street during this time.
We will have additional staff stationed at these locations over the next few days to help support students and families while the equipment is in use.
Thank you for your understanding and cooperation in keeping our students safe!
Fall is FULL of Celebrations!
