This week, our own Bartonville police chief graciously spoke with 2nd, 3rd, and 4th-year French classes. He spoke about growing up in French- speaking Quebec, and we compared Quebecois French with European French.
As part of our Mardi Gras celebrations, the French classes made masks.
Today's Events
Senior Jack Bentley was a recipient of the Lincoln Senior Award. The Lincoln Senior Award is presented annually to one graduating senior from each high school in Peoria County who demonstrates high qualities of character, conduct, and scholarship that were associated with Abraham Lincoln.
Chemistry students are learning about energy interactions with matter. Students observed and studied this phenomenon by making a craft with beads that changed color in the presence of UV radiation and glow-in-the-dark beads. The color that the beads turn, and their glow-in-the-dark nature, gave students insight into the energy and matter interaction that is occurring. These creations will serve as a constant reminder to students of some fundamental principles in their quantum chemistry unit.
Painting students studied the line paintings of Vincent Van Gogh and are now painting monochrome landscapes in his style.
Mechanical Design 1 students are putting the finishing touches on their 3D-printed keychain flashlights.
