What a day of learning beyond the classroom for our Cambridge and environmental students! Our students explored kinetic & potential energy, photosynthesis and plant cells, compass navigation, and the forces of weathering, erosion, and deposition at Cemex. We wrapped up at Texas Roadhouse with line dancing, kitchen tours, team relays, and even shaping their famous fresh-baked bread dough, and of course great food! Real-world learning. Real experiences. Real fun.
The deadline for a personal AD in the yearbook is quickly approaching. The last call is March 16th. Don't miss out!

Dear Parent or Guardian,
Great news! Our school has partnered with Big Smiles to provide dental care right at school. Best of all, in most cases there is no cost to you if your child is insured with Medicaid or CHIP. Private insurance and affordable self-pay options are also available.
Easy and Convenient
Having your child seen by the dental team at school saves you valuable time. High-quality care is provided by local, licensed dental professionals in the familiar and comfortable setting of your child’s school.
Keep Your Child Healthy
Untreated dental problems can lead to pain, missed school days, and long-term health concerns. Regular dental care helps keep your child healthy, learning, and thriving. Services may include dental exams, cleanings, X-rays, fluoride treatments, sealants, and cavity treatment, if needed.
