This week was a great week at SMHS! We had 45 students that participated in our STEM camp. What a wonderful opportunity!

Here at day two of St. Mary's STEM Camp, students had a unique opportunity for some lab science. They learned all about oobleck as well as strawberry DNA. Others dove into aerospace and launched rockets. Keep up the great work campers!

This morning at the St. Mary's STEM Camp we had lots going on! At SMHS, we had three groups learning about lots of science including: potential energy and mousetraps, bonding and slime making, and engineering and rocketry! Our fourth group was off spelunking at Cave of the winds this morning (more pictures to come)!

Hello! My name is Anna (far right) and this summer I am working with Mr. McGuire in the St. Mary's lab! We are performing research on Dr. Ariel Furst's study of MPNs (metal phenolic networks). Here, I am showing Briley and Lucas how the MPNs separate. Later, I will learn how to use these with the bacteria in self-healing concrete. Thank you Mr. McGuire and Dr. Furst for this amazing opportunity!

We have some items that need to go! We have a china hutch and lockers that will be up cycled next week. They will need to be picked up by Monday, June 23rd. Please contact Tricia Faber at tfaber@smhscs.org if interested.
