Village Insider (COVID-19): Issue 8
Aurora Community School
Governor Polis signed an executive order suspending in-person learning in public and private schools across the state through April 30th. However, Governor Polis has stated that it is "unlikely" that students will return to class this year. Aurora Public Schools and the surrounding districts in the Denver Metro area have all decided to stop in-person learning, for the remainder of the year. We, at ACS, will follow suit and utilize virtual learning for the remainder of the school year.
End of School Year: May 21, 2020
LEGO Challenge
Remember: There's a $10 gift card up for grabs from the person with the strongest structure!
Challenge: Pressure-Proof Structure
Imagine that your LEGO person is working in a mine underground deep inside the Earth. Create a shelter for the mine workers that will withstand the pressure of the earth and protect miners from a cave-in. As a family unit, discuss ways in which you can make your structure strong enough that it can withstand a lot of force.
The pressure in the core of the earth is very high, and pushes on structures from all
angles, so every part of the build will need to be extremely strong.
Test your structure using a heavy item from your house such as small weights etc.
Test the top, sides and bottom of the structure you have built to see if it can withstand pressure from every angle.
When you have tested your structure, submit a video of you testing your structure and/or a picture of your structure prior to your test. Send your video to Ashley!

In addition, this Friday, May 8 from 11 am - 1 pm we will offer small bags of perishable and non-perishable groceries, that you can cook at your home (both breakfast and lunch/dinner options). We will serve until we run out of items; so this is offered on a first come, first serve basis.
Please stay in your car, in a line, in front of the church, and we will bring everything to your car.
