Mrs. Kendrick's science students participated in "the survivor curve" project, looking for the right characteristics for a bubble to increase its survival rate. A fun way to test a hypothesis!
Tripp Price makes another appearance as a PHS student who is "caught being good" every time we turn around!
In honor of Native American Heritage Month, students in Mrs. Whorton's library classes read "Fry Bread" by Kevin Noble Maillard and made traditional fry bread. Students learned about where the tradition of fry bread came from and got the hands-on experience of making their own fry bread, choosing between taco toppings or sweet options like honey or cinnamon sugar.
Computer science students focused on coding checkerboards this week. Rylee finished the work early and pulled out her book--the PHS way to use extra time.
Madison Kellar, our newest "caught being good" student at PHS!
What three things have you learned this week? Mrs. Broyles asked her students that very question, and they responded on her whiteboard. A great way to start class on a Friday!

PHS students participated in a mock election with Mrs. Whorton, and senior Miller Mahan cast a real vote with his choice for president (and has a sticker to prove it)! Students, look for an opportunity to register to vote in the coming months!
Pottsville High School celebrates two grants--totaling over $20,000--provided by ANO. We're ready to refresh the FACs classroom and purchase supplies for our new Quiz Bowl team. Shout out to Mrs. Rank and Mrs. Storm for filling out the grants and ANO for supporting #OurTribeStory!
