8th Grade Science Fair
DMS students have been working hard on their science fair projects. They typed up papers and worked on making graphs and tables with their data. Their data was presented on their tri fold boards.

The winners were Peyton Willenbring (1st place), Reed Berning (2nd place), and Owen Paisley (3rd place). Honorable Mention awards went to Lacey Goebel, Jonathan Busch, Lucy Wilhelm, and Evelyn Hendries (by Lily and Melena)

Archery in Coach K’s P.E
Currently in Physical Education class, we are learning about archery. We are learning how to shoot a bow and arrow at targets. We are also learning the different parts of a target and the different parts of the bow. We are also learning how to do different tricks on a bow and arrow--such as shooting at 3-D targets, learning how to score points, and 11 steps to archery success. All in all, the students are loving it (at least, we are)! (written by: Evelyn, Kinley, Daylin, and Markie ) #drexlerms #wdbqschools

Throughout the last few weeks, the 7th graders have been working hard on their science fair projects. They started by choosing a topic they wanted to explore more of. They started testing and collecting data for their project. Once they had their data, they created a poster board with all their research and data. After they finished their poster board, the 7th graders presented their posterboards in the old gym on February 6th to family, other students, and friends. (by Addy, Addy, and Lily)

For the past week, Drexler 7th grade students have been building roller coasters in science. This is a great project to teach students about kinetic and potentional energy. For this project, students get a limited amount of materials provided by the school, but their imagination is the limit, on what outside materials they can bring into use. Each roller coaster must consist of 2 hills, 1 loop, and the marble that goes down the roller coaster, must come to a complete stop. (by Reed, Gavin, Maddox, & Thomas) #drexlerms #wdbqschools

Congratulations to our January Students of the Month! Each month a selected group of teachers, paras, and other staff members in the building nominate a student that they feel is showing qualities of that particular month's "theme". January's theme was "Leadership". Congratulations to these students for being excellent leaders and wonderful role models to their peers! #drexlerms #wdbqschoools
