NATIONAL SCHOOL LIBRARIAN DAY
On April 4th each year, National School Librarian Day recognizes the professionals who keep the school library in working order. School librarians spend long hours keeping the library organized. They are also dedicated to helping our children find the resources they need to keep learning. School librarians are the people who create an environment where students can learn every day of the year. Their work is an impressive accomplishment.
CHS Academy Students Explore SCC at Discovery Day
On Friday, April 4, twenty-five students from the CHS Academy Business Pathway class attended Southeast Community College’s Discovery Day in Lincoln. During the visit, students explored SCC’s Programs of Study, learned about financial aid options, and got a firsthand look at what SCC has to offer. The day included a campus tour, an insightful panel discussion with current students and faculty, and a complimentary lunch. It was a valuable opportunity for students to start thinking about their future pathways and life after high school.

Overview
The egg drop project is a time-honored tradition in many science classrooms. Students build a device to protect an egg and prevent it from breaking when dropped. This project typically relates to lessons about Newton's laws of motion or potential and kinetic energy. However, it is also a great way for students to practice the engineering design process, and learn about the importance of design iteration and learning from failure.
Learning Objectives
Do background research, brainstorm, and prototype an egg drop design
Iteratively test and improve the design
Communicate information about the design process
NGSS Alignment
This lesson helps students prepare for these Next Generation Science Standards Performance Expectations:
MS-ETS1-2. Evaluate competing design solutions using a systematic process to determine how well they meet the criteria and constraints of the problem.
MS-ETS1-4. Develop a model to generate data for iterative testing and modification of a proposed object, tool, or process such that an optimal design can be achieved.
Paraprofessional Appreciation Day is celebrated annually on the first Wednesday of April each year.
A huge thank you to our paraprofessionals for your incredible dedication and hard work. Your support makes a real difference in our students' lives and your guidance is instrumental to their success!
