The 2nd grade students recently examined how large structures like houses are built from smaller pieces. They then designed their own structures using paper. Students built towers using 3' x 5' index cards and paper clips. First they built tall towers, then they were challenged to build towers strong enough to support a hardcover book.

The Mullen 8th grade students were able to utilize an EducationQuest 8th Grade Campus Visit grant to visit Hastings College, Central Community College - Hastings, Central Community College - Grand Island and the University of Nebraska - Kearney last week. These colleges pulled out all the stops to show the students opportunities beyond high school. They have spent this quarter with Ms. Kara Connealy completing interest inventories, learning about strengths and values and learning about plans to achieve career goals. After this visit, they will be mapping out courses in high school and beyond to reach their future endeavors.
