8th Grade - Physical Science Honors
The 8th grade has been studying Forces and Newton's Laws of Motion in science. Students created a robotic hand to see how the hand anatomy combines the two ideas of force moving our hands. They learned hand anatomy and that muscles attach to tendons and tendons attach to bone. When the muscle contracts it pulls on the tendon which pulls on the bone and moves the fingers.

Spring Soccer Info from Mr. Benning
Parents,
I am writing to you about our Spring Sports programs. I have nine soccer games scheduled this year as well as the end of year Low Country Tournament at JP II. All practices will be held at Chaplin Field in Hilton Head with the exception of the first three which will be in the gym.
Shelby Basciano will be back taking over the girls’ program and Mike Arnold will be the boys’ coach again.
We will have the Spring Sports Meeting on Tuesday, February 18 at 5:00 pm in the gym. I have attached to this email, the permission/waiver form, physical form and the tentative master schedule. The dates are on the school website as well.
If you have any questions, please contact me. Thanks for your support of St. Francis athletics.
