High School Video Tribute to Annie Elso
Science Fair—30 Years Strong More than 50 budding scientists participated in the High School’s 30th annual Science Fair in February. The innovative projects included testing the efficacy of ski wax on ski performance at varying temperatures, assessing whether the size and number of holes placed in the cap of a Coke bottle affects the distance the soda would be propelled when Mentos candies were added to the liquid, determining how music genres of rap, easy listening, rock, or pop affect concentration, and much more. Christina Scanlon, assistant head of the science department, said, “The day was a great way for students to share a self-directed project that they developed and fine-tuned over two months. And it was great to see how proud they were of the hard work they invested in their projects.” Judges evaluated each student’s use of the scientific method, content, oral presentation, and display.

Our beloved High School crossing guard, Annie Elso, learns the name of every student, faculty, and staff member before the first leaf falls in September, and she greets each with a smile, hug, or compliment with every trek up or down the hill. Soon after the campuses closed due to the COVID-19 pandemic, senior Margaret Hamilton created a video of Annie’s biggest fans showing gratitude and sending her warm wishes. Thank you, Margaret!
