Mrs. Witt's 7th grade science students and Mrs. Overall's 7th grade math students are working together on a rocket launch project. Mrs. Witt's students designed rockets for a unit on living in space; the students fired their rockets today to see whose rocket "made it into space". Mrs. Overall's students collected the data on distance and time and will prepare spreadsheets to analyze the data.

Pro tip: If a student comes to school before or after a health care appointment (doctor, dental, therapy, etc.) and brings back a note, they will receive attendance credit for that day. If a student does not come to school at all that day, the note will only make it an excused absence. This is still considered an absence for perfect attendance and incentive trip consideration.
