Mrs. Ryan’s 1st graders got their STREAM on with a project that involved making a tall tower out of candy and toothpicks that was also structurally sound. The class looked at images of towers, discussed 3-D shapes that they could use as a model, designed blueprints, collaborated with classmates and created candy towers. They then measured the height of the towers, reassessed and tried to make them better and measured again. It was a challenge for sure! We have terrific, cooperative, creative problem solvers in first grade!

The 2nd Annual Chips & Chili fundraiser was held last Saturday evening, October 14, and drew an enthusiastic crowd to the MC “casino” in spite of Mother Nature “dealing” a nasty hand outside. Black Jack, Hold ‘Em, Craps, Roulette, Bingo, a chili cook-off and cupcake baking competitions provided the fun and games for all who attended this second major SIS fundraiser of the year. Great job and thanks to chairperson Andrea Kuchler and her hard-working committee including Lisa Kirk, Dawn Arms and Vickie Topp, as well as all the parent and alumni volunteers who worked the event. Click Here for a pictorial look at all the action!

Winners of the Chili Cook Off and Cupcake Baking competitions at Chips & Chili Saturday Night, as determined by votes of the “tasters” in attendance, are: Chili: Sally Meyers, 1st Place; Evan Callender, 2nd Place, and Chris and Ann Smith, 3rd Place.
