We have students who have submitted scientific method projects, engineering projects and research projects. Many of the students had science fair projects already ready so students have been making videos of their project to post on our science fair website.<\/p>\n<div class=\"row\">\n<div class=\"col\" readability=\"6\">\n<div class=\"row shn-donation shn-donation-mobile p-0\" readability=\"7\">\n<div class=\"col-xl-4 p-2\">\n<div data-bg=\"url(https:\/\/cdn.skyhinews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2020\/02\/shn-logo-2x-wht.png)\" class=\"p-0 mt-2 mb-2 h-75 text-center rocket-lazyload\">\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.skyhinews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2020\/02\/shn-logo-2x-wht.png\" class=\"logo m-0 p-0 invisible\"><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><h3 class=\"d-inline mr-3\">Support Local Journalism<\/h3>\n<p><button class=\"btn d-inline\" type=\"button\" onclick=\"handleDonationButtonClickMidArticle()\">Donate<\/button><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">It is amazing to see what they have been working on.

He picked Andy Goldsworth and had to use natural materials to create a sculpture that was large enough for people to see.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">In his driveway, he created his interpretation of the Maltese Cross symbol for fire departments by using wood and rocks. His inspiration came from his dad, who is a volunteer on Grand Fire Protection District, also known as the Granby Fire Department.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">\u2022 Juniors and seniors have been reading, analyzing, and writing poetry in Mrs. Mears\u2019 English classes. April was National Poetry Month, and as a culminating project, they are creating a poetry Google Slide presentation. They are doing a great job at writing poetry. Here are a few senior poems:<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">Mountains are big.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">Trails weaving and turning.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">Mountains are big.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">Water falling and churning.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">Mountains are big.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">Sunsets are burning.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">Mountains are big<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">Trees green and growing<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">Mountains are big<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">Nature is calling<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">\u2014 Sam Parker<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">Arrogance is Pestilence<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">But is vital to achieving certain goals<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">Some people remain weary throughout life<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">Like newborn foals<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">I\u2019m not saying humility isn\u2019t important<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">But its place is periodic<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">If one is to bow down to their peers<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">Is to surrender their identity<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">What we determine will make us happy<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">Is found in

outside all day<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">They\u2019ll stay outside till the sky is gray.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">Happiness is like a smile<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">When it comes it stays a while,<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">Lots of flowers, trees, and bees<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">When you have this happiness is a breeze.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">Happiness is like a sunrise in the morning<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">It\u2019s also little kids spending the day exploring,<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">Last but not least happiness is you and me<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">Spending the day together as free as could be.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND
