Nice wins Lady Rails. Wins over MDCV 25-9, 25-15 and Waverly 25-21, 25-11. These two wins move Herington Lady Railers to 23-1 on the season. Great job girls!!

Second graders just finished a science unit about matter. They explored shaving cream and discussed that it can be a solid, liquid, or gas, participated in an Inter-distance Learning lesson from Greenbush Learning Center, tested the melting points and properties of certain candies, and played with Oobleck, a mixture of cornstarch and water, which can be a solid and a liquid. Lots of great learning opportunities!! #breakingout
