Congrats to the KHS Science Olympiad Team!



Good luck to the KHS Science Olympiad team as they go to the state tournament!

 From Coach Elsmore:

 "I’m happy to report that the Science Olympiad squad took 2nd overall after breaking a tie with Eastview based on the number of first place finishes in individual events. Our students really stepped up, many of them improving from middle of the pack finishes in prior meets to medaling in this one. We are onto our state tournament on March 3rd. Please take a moment to congratulate any of our amazing medalists you may have in class:

- Dillon Ackerman and Rachael Chhang - 1st in Dynamic Planet
- Savannah Salato and Madison Chesky - 1st in Anatomy and Physiology
- Ella Anderson and Madison Chesky - 1st in Write It Do It
- Dillon Ackerman and Savannah Salato - 2nd in Microbe Mission
- Gunnar Anderson and Alex Thomson - 3rd in Hovercraft
- Ben Griesel and Jordan Thomson - 3rd in Towers
- Rachael Chhang and Aley Rosas-Mondragon - 3rd in Materials Science
- Dillon Ackerman and Richmond Tu - 3rd in Fermi Questions
Yes, you’ll notice Savannah, Dillon, Rachel and Madison medaled in multiple events. Incredible!"

May 18, 2020 Dear DA STEM 9th and 10th graders and their parents/guardians, Congratulations on completing spring semester at Normandale in the Dimensions Academy STEM program.  You excelled in your college coursework - during a pandemic and when all instruction was moved online!  Roger and I were very impressed with how hard you worked under these new learning conditions. Additionally, we were thrilled to see how well the Normandale professors adjusted their teaching to online.  We were happy with the level of rigor they were able to maintain.   Grades:   I am pleased to announce that everyone in both cohorts earned As and Bs in their college classes this semester.  Normandale is offering their students the opportunity to take their classes pass/fail but my recommendation for you is to take your grade.  There are 2 benefits to taking your grade:  1.  It is doubtful that 4 years from now colleges will give you credit for ...

Seeing our kids learning!

I had the opportunity to see DA STEM 10th graders use tilt ,  seismic , and gas data from volcanos today.  It was great to see our students thinking as real geologists!   Later on I got to observe our new DA Honors 9 English class where they worked at stations to analyze short stories for illusion, personification, symbolism, irony, conflict, imagery, and characterization.  They did a great job applying these concepts in their small group discussions and digging into the texts! I look forward to more opportunities to see our students learning.
