8th Grade Orientation


















8th Grade Orientation was a great chance to reconnect with old friends and get a taste of the fun and challenge that awits the girls this year. Here you see the girls hanging on to one another during the Exploration Stations from Orientation Day. This one was a teamwork and communication challenge called Flip Out requiring the team of nine girls to flip a tablecloth without anyone ever stepping off of it.
Below, the final Gummy Bear Engineering Challenge required the target to be 10 feet high with human support only. The object was to design a device that would launch a PPB (Ping Pong Ball) through the target, using only materials gathered from success at the day's earlier challenges.
