Happy National School Counselor Week!
We are so blessed to have Ms. Jeni Donath at Clayton. She truly represents everything a school counselor should be - compassionate, supportive, and always putting students first! Her dedication and heart make a lasting difference in the lives of our students and staff every single day! Thank you for everything you do, Ms. Donath, our Clayton Superhero!💜👏💛

🦖🐟 In 7th and 8th grade Earth Science we are learning about different types of fossils. In this lab, the students made their own salt dough to model sedimentary rock. Then they picked different sea shells and pressed them into the dough to make a mold fossil and then filled the mold with glue to make a cast fossil.🐚

🧑‍🔬 ⚗️ In Chemistry, we are learning about different types of chemical reactions. This experiment is called "Elephant Toothpaste". A little bit of soap is put into a flask with some food coloring (toothpaste stripes) and hydrogen peroxide. When a catalyst is added to hydrogen peroxide/soap mixture, oxygen gas is produced rapidly and is captured in the soap bubbles with a large amount of heat given off.

👏 👏 Thank you to Abby and Megan from WESTconsin Credit Union for visiting our Personal Finance class to inform them about the basics of credit. It's such a great opportunity for our students to hear from professionals in their field about pertinent life information!💰
