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!"

Nobel Creativity Opportunities Tri 2

The Gifted and Talented department will take Nobel students to the History Theater on Thursday, February 22nd to see “A Crack in the Sky”.  This will be its world premiere and it features two local playwrights, Harrison David Rivers and Ahmed Ismail Yusuf. The play is described as, “ From Somalia to the U.S.A. 1984.  A young shepherd boy stands in front of his mother to tell her of the decision he has made in the night. He has had enough of the nomadic life, of herding goats and sheep, and is leaving to seek out a better life. With that, he sets off on an adventure that takes him on the road less traveled from Somalia to Minnesota. It’s the epic tale of Ahmed Ismail Yusuf who, inspired by Maya Angelou, discovers the power of the written word.”   For more info go to:  http://www.historytheatre.com/2017-2018/crack-in-the-sky We hope to use this experience to give students exposure to local authors.  We plan to follow up on this field trip by me...
