📚📰 Learning Beyond the Classroom! Today in Mrs. Faith Sullins’ ELA 1 class, students took some time to catch up on what’s happening right here in our own community! ❤️ Students read the Licking News, discussed local stories and events, and made connections between what they were reading and the community around them. It was a fun and meaningful way to strengthen reading skills while staying informed and connected to Licking! 🗞️📖🏫

‼️WILDCAT BASEBALL--game time change to 6 PM at Iberia

🧭🔎 A Treasure Hunt for Equations! 🔎🧭 Mrs. Robertson’s 7th and 8th grade Discovery Learning classes put their problem-solving skills to the test! Students uncovered clues involving removal and distance to decipher the hidden clues and determine all 10 hidden equations. 🧩➗ It was a fun, hands-on treasure hunt that required teamwork, critical thinking, and a little detective work! 🕵️‍♀️🗺️ Great job, Discovery Learning! 🎉📚

Over the weekend, we learned of the tragic loss of one of our high school seniors. We are deeply saddened by this tragic news, and extend our most sincere condolences to the student's family. Out of respect for our school community and to allow students and staff the opportunity to attend funeral services, school will be canceled on Friday, September 18. We appreciate your understanding during this difficult time.

🧪🍩 **Mmm… Homeostasis!** Mrs. Macon’s Biology classes put homeostasis into action with **Homer-o-stasis!** 😂
Students worked to keep Homer Simpson’s **electrolytes, water balance, and temperature** at their set points for 5 minutes. It wasn’t easy, but our students did an awesome job! 👏 A fun, hands-on way to see how the body works to maintain **stable internal conditions**—even when things get challenging! 🍩 Mmm… Homeostasis. 🍩
