Famous Future City Participants

I was excited to see that some of my students were filmed for this video.  Great public speaking Chris, and wonderful gestures Cassie!  I'm very proud of your hard work and dedication to this competition!

Straw Rockets

Third and fourth grade students have been experimenting with straw rockets.

How does length affect the range? How does the nose come mass affect the range? How does the angle affect the range? Students use the scientific process to answer those questions.

Toothpaste Commercials

The first and second grade Challenge students are currently filming their toothpaste commercials. Stay tuned for the final products!

Heading to D.C.

Yes, that is correct, Bondidag Cove is heading to Washington D.C. Four seventh grade students earned first place at the Future City Regional Competition in Chicago. They will be presenting at the National Level in February. The Triana City team also won several awards, including the BEST ESSAY! Congratulations to all of you!
