Thank You, Middlefield PD
The students at Jordak Elementary School and Cardinal Intermediate School presented more than 500 cards and posters to the Middlefield Police Department. Officers Erin Thomas and Brandon Savage received heartfelt cards from the second, third, fourth and fifth-grade students.
Kindergarten and first-grade students created posters to be hung around the police station.
The staff and students at Cardinal Local Schools truly appreciate the dedication and bravery the Middlefield police and fire department staff demonstrates on a daily basis.
Club Encourages Engineers
Sixth, seventh and eighth-grade students in Cardinal Middle School STEM Club have been busy.
Sixth-graders have been making rubber band racecars from scratch. They cut out and sanded the bodies, measured and drilled the holes for the wheels and axels and assembled the cars. They also learned to use tools correctly and safely.
Students experienced the significance that design has on outcome and how challenging it is to get just the right amount of power to the wheels. They then tested their cars for speed, distance and ability to travel up an incline plane.
Students controlled variables in order to enhance car performance. Reducing friction and choosing the best combination of rubber band power and aerodynamics were keys to racing success.
Seventh and eighth-grade students, meanwhile, have been experiencing different aspects of computer programming. They began with logo, which was originally designed to move a robot drawing machine. Next, the students worked to design their own web pages. Finally, they worked directly with computer programming code such as html.
STEM Club meets once a week after school. STEM stands for science, technology, engineering and math.
Mr. and Mrs. Boles are volunteer advisors for the CMS STEM Club now in its fourth year. The STEM club is generously supported by CMS PTSA.
