BYNG

Byng Elementary’s Academic Students represented our school in a BIG way at the Regional IAC (International Academic Competition) Bees!!  We have students qualified for Nationals in Orlando and Internationals in London, Vienna, and Puerto Rico!  The IAC Bees are individual competitionis that students have to qualify for by taking an online exam.  It takes a lot of courage to compete solo when you are used to competing as a team.  We are so proud of these amazing kids, their teachers, their academic coaches, and their parents for their time and dedication!

”Who’s the Folks?”  Students in Mrs. Willoughby’s 8^th grade science classes have been on a genetic quest trying to

determine each of their chicks' parents.

Fourth grade students observed the principles of rocket propulsion as they made Santa fly.  Newton’s Third Law of Motion states that for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.  The students supplied the energy from their breath and trapped it in the balloon (Santa’s Sleigh).  When their balloon was released, that energy under pressure drove Santa’s Sleigh (balloon) into the sky (the string path).
