Students mixed water, dish soap, and sugar to create their bubble solution. The activity aimed to create bubbles that would bounce on a hand covered with a cotton sock or glove. They tried different ideas, including adding more soap, blowing slowly, and getting the sock wet.

Good morning and welcome to the last week of school! A few things to do this week: 1. Pay fines, fees and Student Nutrition Balances. 2. Pick up medicine from the school clinic. It cannot be sent home on the bus. 3. Verify your e-mail in the Parent Portal so you don’t miss important communication this summer. 4. Return library books and other school materials. 5. Check the lost and found. (That missing garment could be there somewhere!) 6. Check dates for welcome back and open house. 7. Mark your calendars: We’ll see you Aug. 21! 8. Put on your sunscreen and grab your water bottle for field day! And, if you haven't already, download the Fort Zumwalt app. Go to settings and subscribe to your schools and get notifications, which will keep you up-to-date regarding annual paperwork; supply lists, important dates and more.
