Learning in 8th Grade Science is taking off! Our 8th grade scientists explored potential and kinetic energy by designing marble roller coasters and observing how changes in height affect the energy stored in a system. Then, our Sci-Tech students took learning to new heights by launching aerospace model rockets! From roller coaster thrills to rocket launches, our students are putting science into action through hands-on learning, experimentation, and discovery!

Fall Girls Middle School Summit: This fall, we’re giving our middle school girls another opportunity to get into the GFAC, build confidence, learn how to train, and make their best, better!

The Summit isn’t about turning middle schoolers into advanced lifters. It’s about giving them the foundation they need before high school. Most importantly, we give them a safe environment to learn, make mistakes, build confidence, and have fun along the way!

The program begins Monday, October 26, and registration is $91. Learn more and register now: https://www.geneseoschools.org/page/coming-up-athletics-and-extracurriculars
