Student council

Zane's friend Ryan ran for President of the Teton Middle School student council. His speech was impressive. Watch for yourself if you want (1:53).

Ryan did win President of the student council. I'm very proud of him!! Way to go Ryan!!

I'm not exactly sure why Zane's got a grinder (purchased by his Dad) and I'm not sure exactly what he's going to do with it. I am sure he's going to wear hearing and eye protection when he's using it!

Still making iron oxide

Zane's still making iron oxide. The 5 gallon bucket didn't make much.

I know the video is sideways and the sound stinks, oh well! Turn your head to watch it. Like the snow storm going on in the background? Winter has come to Idaho!

Spud week activities

Did you watch the video in the last post where Zane is trying to make iron oxide? Mr. Science went from a jelly jar and 2 nails to a 5 gallon bucket and rebar! He's making iron oxide...don't ask what for!!

14 seconds of bubbling and excitement.

We went to the National Wildlife Art Museum
in Jackson, Wyoming. The elk are a piece of art at the entrance. The museum collection was really impressive for a) all animal pictures b) the museum is in the middle of no where! We saw a Warhol print and an O'Keefe. We also saw several Beirstadt. We liked these bison pictures a lot.

You can barely see the museum because it blends so well with the landscape.

Zane being attacked by an eagle statue.

We weren't allowed to take pictures in the museum, hence of the outside pictures. In the background is the National Elk Refuge. We didn't see any live elk. They're in rutting season now. I've actually heard some bugling in the middle of the night (4 seconds, click on it!).

Spud week

Well, it's Spud Week. It's the week that school is out so that the teachers and older students can assist with harvesting potatoes. The majority of kids and students are hanging out in this crummy weather (Teton Webcam).

Zane is on a kick where he's trying to make iron oxide and aluminum shavings. Here's the video of him making iron oxide (short!).

Championship meet at Rigby!

Paul and I missed the girl's race! Sorry girls!!! Luckily, I got this picture of the girl runners enjoying the minidisco ball and the Go Teton XC poster. We're in the Middle School library. Isn't the bulletin board in the background great?!

Everyone did great! The girls finished in 6th place overall in the league and the boys finished in 3rd place. Well done all and good job Coach Krumpen! Thank you for a great season!
