Senior Brecken Isaacson had an idea last year. He wanted to build a darkroom for his art project. He researched, met with the superintendent, made purchase orders, cleaned, painted and waited… it’s been a year and now the RC darkroom is finally up and running! We can’t wait to explore the art of black and white film! We will keep you all posted! 📷

Yesterdays 4th grade STEM class coded the Ozobot robots to go bowling and coded the Dash robots to play the xylophone!
