MIDDLE SCHOOL STEM CLUB

he Middle School STEM Club provides a non-competitive opportunity for students to participate in hands-on projects to explore the basic science principles associated with STEM. TSixth, seventh, and eighth grade students are members of the club, and they met on the first and third Tuesdays of each month. The club conducts activities and experiments enhancing the learning experience behind the science. Some activities and experiments conducted are binder clip catapults and hydraulic machines. The catapults were made when students attached wooden sticks to binder clips. Students learned how variables could affect an experiment to change the results of our conclusion.

“During the hydraulic machines we learned how objects can move when a force is exerted upon them. In our case, the water pushed and pulled the object to make the machine move. In both of the experiments we conducted, we learned many things. The S.T.E.M. club is amazing and I am so glad to be a part of it,” Regan Archie, 6th grader said.

34 The Cub Roar ALUMNI NEWS Remember When...

or many years the senior class has gathered on a spring afternoon just prior to graduation to have a picnic or crawfish boil to celebrate the end of their high school careers. In 2008, Dr. Smith had the idea to take it a step further. He wanted to send the Fgraduating seniors off in a grander way. He wanted to surprise the seniors with a send-off from the entire school. The idea was to line the halls of the school starting at the auditorium all the way out to the student parking lot with the entire student body cheering and congratulating the seniors as they took their last walk through the halls of U-High. After a short assembly in the auditorium, the Class of 2008 was shocked when they saw the halls overflowing with students and teachers cheering them on. Nobody imagined that idea would turn into one of the most cherished traditions in U-High history. This year marks the 10th time the walk-out has occurred, and every year it gets better and better. The hope was to send the students out in a way that they would remember forever and that has held true!
