Earlier this week, students in Mrs. Rosa’s AP Biology class were asked to determine if the presence of a gall affected the growth of goldenrod. After examining the plants, each group formulated an experimental question, made their hypothesis, and then collected data in order to answer their question.

Students continued their study by performing statistical tests and presenting their findings to their classmates. They also opened the galls to find a variety of insect larvae living inside.

On Friday, the middle school student council held its annual "Welcome Back" assembly. Grade levels competed in a game of "Name that Baby," where they had to identify baby pictures of teachers. Seventh grade earned the victory!
