Students in Mrs. Adams’ & Mrs. Arnold’s math classes recently completed a Paper Plane activity. The students watched a movie, Paper Planes, which was based on a story about a boy’s journey to compete in the World Paper Plane Championships in Japan. After watching the movie, students made their own paper planes and competed with their classmates to see whose plane would fly the farthest.

Mrs. Nalley's Tech Ed class recently flew their rockets they made in the rocketry and space expedition!
Congratulations!
PSA to everyone. There are phishing emails coming from government agencies. Many of these are about unpaid tolls and they warn that failure to pay may result in penalties or licenses suspended. We initially received them from the Indiana Department of Education(or so they say), but I have heard reports of others throughout the State receiving them from other state agencies. The email says it comes from one of the agencies, but the email address is not legit. If you receive any emails that seem suspicious, call the person(or department) directly. DO NOT click on the link or reply to the email. This has nothing to do with Pike County School Corporation, but we just want everyone to be safe. Please share with others so they do not get phished. Below is a screenshot of one of these emails.
