Seventh grade visited Freedom Bank to learn about careers at a bank. In the tour, they got to see behind the scenes at the tellers' desks and drive-thru window. Additionally, they got to try using the money counter and learned all about the vault. Math and English are two subjects bank president, Rusty Newman, recommends for anyone interested in pursuing a career in banking.

5th grade has been learning about matter! They have been experimenting to find out if they can prove that air is matter - which would mean it takes up space! They took a cup, stuffed a paper towel into the bottom, and then submerged it under water to see if the paper towel would get wet or be protected by the air. They were shocked to find the paper towel stayed dry and that the air did in fact create a shield between the water and the paper towel, proving that it has volume and mass!

Garrett Barnes, owner of Elevated Productions, taught the 6th grade class about photography, videography, marketing, and entrepreneurship. He suggested taking classes in art, business/marketing, math, and finance. A few of the many great pieces of advice he gave to be successful in owning a business are to be quick to listen and slow to talk, live in a business mindset including representing yourself well at all times, and doing something is better than nothing.
