The high school Woods II class has been taking advantage of this week’s beautiful weather by continuing their work on the nature trail. Today’s task was to get the 14” lag bolts out of the old posts and beams. This must be done before we can set the new beams, and is no easy job! Before taking out any existing hardware students first learned how to use a level to re-set the main support posts, and then anchored a treated 2”x10” board below where the replacements beams will sit.
HIGH SCHOOL PICTURE DAY is THURSDAY:

Mr. Gentry's sophomore class has been learning all about soils. 1/2 the class earned spots on the soil judging team and were out at the district contest. Those that stayed back made their own "soil mixture" trail mix with marshmallows (Silt), M&M's (Clay), Pretzels (Sand). They then determined what percent of their mixture were each ingredient, then determined what their soil type was based on the soil texture triangle. They then researched the best uses for their soil types in the "judging soil for rural and urban use" book.
