7th grade computer science students were introduced to the open-ended, collaborative, and creative problem-solving process that they will use throughout the quarter. Students worked in teams to design paper towers that can stand as high as possible. Teams had two rounds to work on their towers, with the goal of trying to go higher than they did in the first round. This activity sets the stage for learning the steps of the problem-solving process in future lessons.
Computer Science Standards
* Compare and refine multiple algorithms for the same task and determine which is most appropriate.
* Decompose problems into smaller, manageable sub problems to facilitate the program development process.
*Take on varying roles, with teacher guidance, when collaborating with peers during the design, implementation and review stages of program development.

The Western Iowa Conference (WIC) has had to make the hard decision to increase our admission fees for our varsity events to $7 per person for both students and adults.
For this next year, we will offer the ability to pay at the gate with a credit card and cash. There will be no "convenience fee" added on if you pay at the gate with a credit card.
Superintendent Mrs. Gochenour recently emailed all families to help further explain the conference decision.
