🧪 Science in Action!
Mrs. Bryant’s 7th grade science students have been busy in the lab creating bioplastic!

Using a mixture of cornstarch, water, and vegetable oil, students explored how combining natural materials can form a synthetic product. This hands-on experiment helped students understand how science connects natural resources to the materials we use every day. 🌱💙💛

In Mrs. Bryant’s science class, students experimented with acetic acid and sodium carbonate. When these two reactants were combined inside a balloon, they produced water, carbon dioxide, and sodium acetate — causing the balloon to inflate!

Students observed that the mass of the reactants equaled the mass of the products, demonstrating the Law of Conservation of Matter. ⚗️💙💛

🎉 Student Spotlight!
Our very own HMS student, Braden C., used his 3D printer at home to make Plinko chips for our Fall Festival!

He generously volunteered his time and materials to help make the event a success, and we are so grateful for his creativity and willingness to serve. 💙💛

Way to go, Braden! 👏

🎈 Science in Action!
Mrs. Scoggins’ science students experimented with chemical reactions to review the Law of Conservation of Matter and balancing equations. ⚗️

By mixing acetic acid (vinegar) and sodium bicarbonate (baking soda), students produced carbon dioxide gas — enough to inflate their balloons! 🎈💙💛

Cross-Curricular Learning at Harrison Middle School! 🏫💪✏️
Coach Klott’s PE classes took learning to the next level by blending Literacy, Writing, and Science into their physical education lessons! Students chose a topic from the PE Word Wall and wrote 2–3 sentences about it, created a graph or picture with a short description, and students were encouraged to provide printed resources for their work.

We love seeing our Goblins make connections across subjects while staying active and engaged! 💛💙

So proud of our Harrison High School Project Ignite group! They delivered a powerful drug and vape-free message to the students at Harrison Middle School as part of our Red Ribbon Week activities.

The presentation was impactful, featuring a great skit that exposed how corporations target kids with flavored vapes and stylish designs. They also discussed the serious harmful effects of drugs and alcohol on students' future goals and ended with some fun, engaging trivia.

Check out the future leaders who pledged to be drug-free! Let's keep supporting healthy choices!

🎨✨ Talented 5th grade HMS Goblins were recognized by the Elks Drug Awareness Program for their outstanding artwork!

Their creative and meaningful posters earned top honors in the Elks Drug Awareness Poster Contest, and their drawings may even appear in the Elks Drug Awareness Coloring Book, The Elks Magazine, or other national Elks publications.

We’re so proud of our young artists for using their creativity to promote a powerful message — staying drug-free! 💙💛 #HMSGoblins #GoblinsShine #DrugFreeAwareness #ElksLodge #StudentSuccess
