STEAM Saturday has begun!
We explored the world of renewable energy and created our own wind-powered disks.
Attica 4th graders want to thank Illiana Antique Power Association for hosting Living History Days in Rainsville. Students enjoyed the afternoon grinding corn, using the hammer to ring the bell, sewing quilt pieces, pressing apples, making butter, tasting cornbread, and learning about Indiana history.
Congratulations to Aubree Jones. She qualified for golf regional today. She will play next Saturday at Battleground Country Club. Good luck Aubree!!!
FRIDAY NIGHT FOOTBALL
Advanced Biology students conducting self-designed experiments.
Sixth grade Science students working on the class bellringer (reading different measuring instruments).
Mrs. Current's Principles of Management class learned the difference between units being produced and the assembly line process.
The students watched "How it was Made" video on the ice cream process. Each student was in charge of the unit being produced (completing the whole process themselves) within a timed 5 minute period to see how many total sandwiches they could make on their own.
The sandwiches were then assembled by specialization and timed for 5 minutes as well. The students found that the sandwiches on the assembly line went much faster than the units being produced. There were also quality control managers that watched every step of the process and jumped in to assist if a bottleneck occurred during the assembly.
Of course, the students had ice cream sandwiches as treats.
Happy International Talk Like a Pirate Day from First Grade!
Mrs. Kiger's counting King and Queen! They both counted to 100 today!

Mrs. Current's Introduction to Business 8th grade class created skits over the electronic payment options that were recently covered in class. The students showed Debit/Credit card payments, P2P payments, Gift cards and Digital Wallet payments. The students have also been busy learning about check writing, how to make deposits, filling out check registers, what overdrafts are, types of loans and why budgets are important. This class gives a variety of different areas within the business realm, so the students have a brief introduction to the field of study.
On Thursday, our jr high cross country team competed against Parke Heritage and South Vermillion @ South Vermillion.
Evelyn Mattern finished 1st in the girls race, finishing almost 2 minutes ahead of 2nd place. Maggie Cunningham took 3rd and Kate Bellomo 5th.

Great job to all of our runners!!!
Mrs. Kiger's class celebrated national dot day by making our mark together!!
5th grade has been learning about character traits this week. They had to pick out traits for each of their classmates. The students then turned that into a collage of character traits and decided which one best fit them. 🩷
Attica Elementary learned a new core value each month and for the month of September, our core value was compassion. Compassion is caring enough to do something about someone else’s needs. The students at Attica Elementary had the opportunity to practice compassion by creating toys for cats in need at the animal shelter.
Together they made over 350 toys!!
It was a clean sweep yesterday for our volleyball program. 6th grade & 7/8th grade defeated Lafayette Christian in Lafayette and our JV & V both won against Danville Schlarman in Attica. Congratulations to all of the girls!!!
