The last few months I have shared thoughts on becoming a more productive, more fulfilled and happy person. It takes an investment on each person’s part to increase his or her value. A quote on the middle/ high school wall says the following: Your value is determined by what you make of yourself.

The rest of the story continues … You have a plain bar of iron that is worth about $5. Made into a horseshoe it’s worth about $11. Made into screwdrivers, it’s worth about $15. Made into needles, it’s worth about $3500. The same is true about another kind of matter … YOU!! Your value is determined by what you decide to make of yourself. At Orient-Macksburg each student can decide what they want to make of him or herself. Each of our teachers have written a three point plan to help students be more accountable for their learning and to make sure that failure is not an option. Make Each Day Your Masterpiece! Clark S.

7th & 8th Grade Science We are studying buoyancy. So we completed a project with a boat. The boat that the student built had to stay floating for 10 seconds, it had to hold 50 pennies, it had to weigh less than the pennies, and the boat could not be bigger that 15cm by 15 cm. The boat could also only be made out of metal. With this project the students learned about: Buoyancy is the ability or tendency to float in water, air, or some other fluid. An upward buoyancy force is equal to the magnitude of the weight of fluid displaced by the body. The center of buoyancy of the objet is the centroid of the displaced volume of fluid. Surface area of a solid object is a measure of the total area and the surface the object occupies. So they learned that the bigger surface area their boats had the less chance of sinking because the surface area helped to spread the weight of the pennies out.
