🔬 We are zooming into the new school year with some serious focus! 🔬
Mr. Pagawisan’s biology students are already hard at work exploring the microscopic world. Our Sophomore Biology class kicked things off with an Introduction to the Microscope, while the Advanced Biology crew brushed up on their lab skills with a comprehensive review. Both groups got hands-on practice making their very own wet-mount specimen slides, using the classic newsprint letter "e" to master focus, magnification, and proper slide handling. 📝✨
But here is the absolute best part of the activity: Unlike the previous years, every single student had their own microscope! 🤩
No sharing, no waiting in line—just 100% hands-on learning with a phenomenal 1:1 student-to-microscope ratio. Having dedicated equipment for every student completely transforms how much time they get to spend actually observing and discovering.
A massive and heartfelt THANK YOU AGAIN to the Montana Masonic Foundation for their incredibly generous support in making this equipment upgrade a reality. Your contribution is directly empowering our students to dive deeper into science, one slide at a time! 🧬🏫

Mr. Pagawisan's Advanced and Sophomore Biology classes had a fantastic time mastering foundational scientific techniques during their recent "Equipment Use - Station Lab activity"! Rotating through six hands-on stations, students practiced reading a meniscus to measure volume, calculating cubic centimeters with metric rulers, and utilizing the "zero/tare" function on digital scales for accurate mass readings. They also recorded Celsius temperatures, observed chemical reactions in well plates, and evaluated critical safety labels to ensure a safe laboratory environment. Great job to all the students for their focus and precision! Devils in learning mode.

Project YES
What is Project YES? Project YES is a free, online mental health resource built by, and for, young people.. You can try short activities on your own, or we can connect you to local resources near you.
It works – Science shows YES helps young people feel more in control of their lives.
It’s low-pressure – 100% free, no hidden fees, no ads, no strings attached.
It’s private – 100% anonymous, we don’t collect or sell personal data.
It’s fast – Start immediately, without waiting.
It’s safe – Created and vetted by experts at the Lab for Scalable Mental Health at Northwestern University and Koko.
Our activities take 5-10 minutes and cover topics like body image, low mood, goal setting, eating disorders, confidence, self-compassion, self-harm, and suicide safety planning. Try as many or as few as you like.
