Earth Science students have been learning about astronomy and put their engineering skills to the test by building and racing moon rovers. They had limited supplies and the rovers had to be powered by rubber bands. The winning rover traveled 262cm!

Biology classes have been learning about cell membranes and transport. They conducted an experiment to study osmosis with gummy bears and carrots. No real bears were harmed in this experiment.

Here is what is coming up in September at PECHS! #PECHSMonthly #OnePender

🚍 We know the first day of the three-tier schedule brought some challenges, while we continue to work to make improvements there is a free tool that can be helpful for families - the Here Comes the Bus app.

With this free app, parents can:
✅ See their child’s bus location on a map
✅ Get alerts when the bus is near your stop or school
✅ Gain peace of mind with notifications when the bus arrives in your area

The good news is that traffic flow improved by 30 minutes in some areas after adjustments from day one. While we continue to make changes, the Here Comes the Bus app can provide extra confidence and convenience for families.

Shout out to Lucas Spenser on graduating this Spring! We finally got that diploma pic!
