Thanksgiving Community Service
In preparation for Thanksgiving, High School students participated in various service activities to bring the joy of the season to those in need. The High School Interact Club, which is hosted by the Rotary Club of Mechanicsburg-North, created toiletry bags for the YWCA Women’s Shelter in Harrisburg. Service students made hand turkeys with holiday messages which were delivered to the residents of Country Meadows for their Thanksgiving meals. Students were also able to create and bake homemade pumpkin pies for their families for Thanksgiving.
Thank you to all of our wonderful students and teachers for your commitment to community service. We are Panther Proud!
Girls on the Run
Our students in Girls on the Run participated in a service project for children in Ukraine. They created beautiful handmade cards that will be sent overseas! GOTR finished their season with a 5K on Sunday, November 20th. Congratulations to our GOTR students for a fantastic season!
Weather Station
Did you know that our school district has a Weather Station at the high school?
Mrs. Waldman, Math Teacher & Data Coach, is a part of a group of STEM teachers that wrote a grant sponsored by our Educational Foundation to bring real data into our math and science classrooms. The station includes an HD camera, a rain gauge, sensors for temperature, humidity, and wind anemometer that collects data at 5-minute intervals. This is accessible to all in the community, and even used by local news stations live ABC27, through our online portal providing a truly hyperlocal forecast, highs/lows, totals, or averages.
Check out the website https://owc.enterprise.earthnetworks.com/OnlineWeatherCenter.aspx?aid=7617 for insightful graphs and data for virtually all weather variables over the past few months. Teachers and students are using real data and graphs in both science and math classrooms to analyze trends and make predictions!
