Truman welcomed future 6th graders to Truman this week.  Students were greeted by teachers and cheered through the hallway by next year's cheer team.  All students met in the gym where the were entertained by several groups from Truman.  Dr. Straatmaan introduced teachers they will have next year and then dismissed them for small group tours.


7th Grade Egg Drop

Seventh grade science classes participated in the annual egg drop.  The goal was to protect an egg form breaking when dropped from a window 9 meters (30ft) from the ground while following certain parameters.
Regular classes had a mass requirement of at least 600g (1.3 lbs) and it had to fit in a milk crate. Challenge classes egg containers had to spin as it fell.  No parachutes could be used.
