Roosevelt PTO and Volunteers,
Thank you so much for all of your hard work and dedication in making the Snowflake Ball such a wonderful event this past weekend. Everything—from the planning to the execution—was truly amazing.
It was clear how much time, effort, and care went into every detail, and it absolutely paid off. The kids had a fantastic time, and the joy and excitement on their faces said it all. Events like this create such special memories for our school community, and we are incredibly grateful to everyone who helped make it happen.
Thank you again for your commitment, energy, and generosity. Roosevelt is so lucky to have such an outstanding PTO and group of volunteers.

🎯 Physics in Action at McDonald High School! 🎯
Mrs. Sanson’s physics students put their skills to the test with a hands-on catapult project that combined creativity, engineering, and math. Students designed and built their own catapults, then calculated the speed of their projectiles and determined the optimal placement of a target when launching from a height of one meter.
After days of building before Thanksgiving break, students tested their catapults, collected data, and calculated projectile velocity. Using the quadratic formula, they determined the time of flight and precisely positioned the target, aiming to hit the center. Their final score was based on the best of five attempts.
Real-world problem solving, teamwork, and critical thinking all rolled into one exciting project.
