The EMS Student Council members did an excellent job organizing and speaking at our Veterans Day celebration. Students joined their Veterans for breakfast in the cafeteria. Next Mrs. Lynne Watson shared her story as a Marine. The EHS Band and the Treblemakers Honor Choir both performed multiple pieces. Duncan Whiteside concluded the assembly by playing Taps. We appreciate everyone who made this day possible and were thrilled by how many Veterans were able to attend.
The people listed below deserve special recognition.

The final project for students in robotics is not a test, but a presentation about their final build. Students demonstrate what their robot can do and answer questions. Students also discuss the engineering design process of think, do, test and how they use the 4 C's. The 4 C's are critical thinking, collaboration, communication, and creativity. Both the engineering design process and the 4 C's help students be successful in robotics and in life.
