Quidditch and Science

Hello,

What a great night.  I was thoroughly impressed with the gym set up and all of the scientific topics. Professional presenters alongside HBS students presenting their stuff... it was fantastic. Our class will play a major role in next year's fair. Mrs. Palopoli deserves major credit for her vision and hard work on this. I look forward to working with her next year.

Thanks to Ryleigh and Autumn for holding down our simple machines / amusement ride table. The constructions were eyecatchers. Now we all need to learn more of the science behind them.

The quidditch also went well.  Both teams, the Ducks and the Unicorns, were victorious in one match. I saw a lot of great hustle and sportsmanship from the kids.  Thank you to everyone who pitched in. A special thanks to our last minute snitch replacement, Bella Pols. She was fast (some thought too fast) and provided lots of drama on the field.

Field trip tomorrow.  Thanks to everyone who expressed interest in chaperoning. I took the first three, knowing that we would be meeting up with Peyton and her mom as well.  We'll break into small groups for the Maine State Museum and all get back together for the State House tour. Maybe we'll see the governor.

Have a good night.

Mr. Shea
