It was an honor to listen in on all the discussions regarding growth, development and success. We are tremendously proud of our students and it was great to see them shine.

Truth of War Exhibition
Date: Tuesday, November 1
Time: 5:00-6:30
Location: Durango Rec Center
Description: 10th grade Humanities will be holding its first exhibition on Tuesday, November 1. In this project, students will be exhibiting their projects for our Truth of War project. In this project, students were asked to address the question, "What is the truth of war for a soldier?"
Drawing upon their knowledge of WWI and WWII, and the novels All Quiet on the Western Front and Slaughterhouse Five, students have crafted essays that address this question, and have developed projects in a form oftheir choosing that express the same perspective of their essay. We invite everyone to come see the projects and interact with our students. Questions, please contact lori.fisher@animashighschool.com
Rocket Launch Exhibition
9th Grade Physics students will participate in a Rocket Launch Exhibition on November 3rd (Thursday) from 4-6 PM at the L Plata County Fairgrounds south field.
Students have been working closely with Ken Nash, an actual, local rocket scientist to create their shuttle designs. In addition to working with students on their designs and proposals, Ken will be involved with the projects’ final assessment. The top three student designs will be forwarded on to NASA with recommendations from Ken and his team. We anticipate all the classes to follow up this project with a field trip to an actual rocket assembly facility here in the four corners. This experience will be a BLAST and we look forward to seeing you at lift off! Questions, please contact dave.heerschap@animashighschool.com
