Thanks for being such great sports during an unexpected blackout! 🌩️

Students in Mrs. Biegler's math classes recently wrapped up their volume and surface area module with an exciting hands-on project. Working independently or with a partner, students designed and built unique creations using a combination of rectangular and triangular prisms and pyramids.
After bringing their designs to life, they calculated both the volume and surface area of their structures, putting their math skills to work in a fun and creative way!

🌟 What an incredible day at Lance Middle School! 🌟
Our students truly showed the power of kindness and community by raising an amazing $46,933 for the Make-A-Wish Foundation during today's Walk-a-Thon!
We are so proud of our students, staff, families, and sponsors who came together to support this wonderful cause. Every step taken today helps bring hope, strength, and joy to children facing critical illnesses.
