History came to life in Mrs. Tuschen's 8th Grade History class!

After learning about Henry Ford's assembly line, students got a hands-on look at how the process worked by creating paper airplanes. Working together, they experienced the efficiency, teamwork, and organization that made assembly lines so revolutionary. ✈️

They demonstrate respect and responsibility and learn both independently and in groups. The 8th-grade team is pleased to recognize the following students of the month for September:

Avery Hartman daughter of Greg & Tiffany Hartman of Sioux Falls
Jase Nothdurf, son of Joshua & Carrie Nothdurf of Hartford

Back row: Jase Nothdurf - History, Hermera Gilbert - Language Arts, Blayre Hoefert - Reading, Peyton Benda - Science,
