SCHS engineering students had the amazing opportunity to build and fly tetrahedron kites. They took advantage of a perfect windy day to launch the kites up into the sky! 🌬️🪁
These kites are made of simple materials like straws, string, and tissue paper, yet they are stable and easy to fly when the wind is just right. It's incredible to think that these kites can vary in size, allowing for the creation of both simple and larger models by adding cells together.
A fascinating historical note: Alexander Graham Bell invented this type of kite in 1895 and even created a massive 3,393 cell model that carried a man 168 feet above water in 1907!

Mrs. Beyersdorf and Mrs. Keup, School Counselors at Hillcrest/LEADS, recently coordinated field trips for all Kindergarten and 1st Grade students. These field trips were follow-up activities from Life Skills lessons about Career Exploration.
Kindergarten students visited the Shawano County Library; they learned about the variety of careers within the library system and they received information about the summer reading program. As a bonus, Kindergarten students also toured the Police Department. School Resource Officer, Officer Tyler Thornborrow, provided a tour, shared a variety of careers such as detective, investigator, K9 officer, etc.., and taught the students about public safety.
First Grade students visited the Shawano County Highway Department. They toured the large facility and learned about a variety of different careers. They learned about many different trucks, along with other equipment that is used on the roads. Students were also excited to see the large salt sheds and to stand on the big scale that's used to weigh the trucks.
What an awesome experience for all! #ShawanoProud
