$ Art Project $ School becomes real when there’s real money to invest. School becomes real when there is real money to invest. Students in art class are designing a group project that has “real expenses” and “real seed money.” More details about this exciting project are to come!
Science Fair: Students have been hard at work developing scientific lab experiments related to questions they want to explore in preparation for the RVTN School Science Fair as well as either the DVSF or Carver Science Fairs. The diversity of their projects spans from consumer science, social science, and animal behavior to bacteria and germs. Some of the animal behavior labs included Red-eared slider turtles and their socialization, where common colored parakeets show handedness (left or right handed) and if fancy mice (must muscula) will better thrive with an all fruit/ grain diet vs an all protein diet.
