Exploration, discovery, and a chance to confirm scientific concepts—lab days are fun days! Students in Mrs. Higgins’s Physical Science class burned magnesium ribbon yesterday to examine exothermic reactions and production of light energy. They also analyzed the physical properties of magnesium and tested to determine pH levels.

Due to the timing of inclement weather forecasted tomorrow afternoon, Valley View Public Schools will dismiss two (2) hours early on Tuesday, February 18, 2025 with bus and car rider dismissal beginning at 1:00pm. All afterschool and evening activities, including the Excel afterschool program, are cancelled for Tuesday.
It is our desire to provide this information on the district's planned early dismissal now so that our Valley View families can coordinate pickup and afterschool care accordingly. Thank you for your understanding as we seek to prioritize the safety of all our students, staff and Blazer families.
Mr. Easton accompanied four teams of girls in Agri Education courses to the Girl Power Goes to State competition yesterday. This regional competition entails designing and building projects using CAD software, and adding cutting or engraving operating a CNC plasma or CNC laser machine. All four teams of Blazer girls constructed well-designed and great looking creations, and the project produced by freshmen Amelia Richardson and Maegan Sexton won the People’s Choice Award, advancing them to the state level competition.
Girl Power Goes to State was created to advance an interest in non-traditional careers in manufacturing and construction professions for girls currently in junior high and high school. Congratulations to all of the students participating in this unique opportunity!

Light the Flame was more than a hashtag in Mrs. Higgins's Physical Science classes yesterday; it was a literal part of the assignment. The students performed flame tests to visually determine the identity of metal salts.
