School Board Updates
Kindness Week
In January we had a wonderful Kindness Week! We saw kindness detectives in the hallways, saw students creating kindnesses in their classrooms, and watched kindness spread. Our kids have started a new kindness challenge at school for the rest of the school year. If they are caught being kind, they will receive a colorful dot and it will be hung on the words "East Eagles" in our cafeteria! The goal is to fill up the words with dots before the year ends! We can't wait to see our kindness grow.
Mill Creek East Eagles - State Runner-Up in Science Bowl!
The Mill Creek East Eagles claimed state runner up at the 2024 Science Bowl competition, finishing just 0.5 points away from the state champion. Twelve Eagles from 4th and 5th grade spent time outside of school hours preparing. This year's competition required students to conduct an experiment to understand the effects of salt solutions on plants. As winter roads in Indiana are doused with chemicals, they were challenged with determining if road run off negatively affects our surrounding fields.
Students first made standard stock solutions of salt in various percentages, predicted what seed germination rates would be, grew seeds, charted their results, and interpreted data. The team was also given a list of middle school/high school science vocabulary words (like turgidity and formative growth) to know and apply. Each student learned the parts of an animal and plant cells (everything from vacuoles to rough endoplasmic reticulum). They also understand how a seed germinates, what may change growth rates, and the specific nutrients needed for plants to thrive.
We are so proud of this team! The team members are Cole, Arya, Noah, Heidi, Ellisyn, Perry, Oliver, Luke, Zoey, Lucy, Emry, and Tristan.
(The "Stop" card was the team's lucky charm for the season :)
