Sunday, March 21st is Down Syndrome Awareness Day. To celebrate this day, the Life Skills Classes will be sponsoring a Rock Your Socks Day this Friday. Please wear loud, crazy, mismatched socks to celebrate the uniqueness of each individual. The world is a better place when each of us expresses what makes us one-of-a-kind. Also, look through the halls for posters of special people with Down Syndrome who have accomplished great things!

For Kaiya Hintz and Trista Nichols’ Harvest Team project they are wanting to bring
more awareness of different types of cancers that are not as well known, yet are the deadliest to those who are diagnosed with them. There will be a donation bin set up each Friday of March, near the front doors, where you can drop off gifts for cancer patients. This can include any warm wear, blankets, socks, gum, hand sanitizer, lotion, chapstick, activity
books, journals, or hard candy. There will be a list on the bin with more donation ideas. For
the month of March we will be focusing on 4 of the top deadliest cancers, one for each week
in March. At the end of the week on Friday we encourage the students of FCHS to wear the
color of the cancer’s ribbon to bring awareness and support for the cause.
This week we will be focusing on colon cancer where the ribbon color in royal
blue. One in twenty people will be diagnosed with colon cancer along with 140 people
diagnosed each day.

Today’s Classroom Shoutout goes to Ms. Petermeyer!
My calculus class is beginning to learn about optimization, i.e they are trying to determine the minimum/maximum of something such as finding the minimum amount of plastic to use for a water bottle given a specific volume, the amount of fencing to maximize the area of a pen given a specific length of the fence, etc. They are taking measurements of two 1-gallon ice cream containers, same brand, same volume, and they will be determining which is going to minimize the amount of plastic used to make the tub. They will also be determining the optimized dimensions for each container (i.e. what dimensions of the current containers actually minimizes the plastic? How do these compare to the actual containers?) They will also compare the amount of space each container takes up, which is preferable when storing/stacking these containers, and the reasonableness of the optimized containers. They will also be constructing these optimized containers.
