Attica High School

BRINGING EARTH SCIENCE TO LIFE The Science Department and Mrs. Linsey are looking forward to the start of the school year and new learning opportunities! This Augmented Reality (AR) Sandbox will be used to aid in the understanding of topographic maps, landscape features, hydrology, and so much more! It can be dismantled and transported to other classrooms in the district for any grade level to learn and play! Mrs. Linsey owes many thanks to the following for their efforts and donations in making her vision come to fruition: Mr. Versage, Mr. Craig Lavis, Mr. Stroud, Robbie Brunner, her husband (Mr. Linsey), and Dr. Scott Giorgis of SUNY Geneseo for the inspiration.

Hello and happy Monday! Last Thursday, 5 students from the Attica agriculture program attended Alfred State College to participate in a hands-on exploratory program with college faculty members. Two students (Mikaha George and Madelynn Durfee) took part in the Animal Science program. They were led by Dr Dorothea Fitzsimmons and Travis Armison and were able to work on reproductive system dissections, discuss Alfred Animal Science programs, and were given a farm tour. While in the dairy barns, the girls were given the opportunity to perform a practice pregnancy check on a Jersey cow! Tanner Jensen, Erika Conrad, and Larissa Hyman performed several different Plant and Soil Sciences activities with faculty member Jessica Hutchinson. Students performed soil quality analysis, identified several potential insect crop pests, "dissected" a goldenrod plant to determine what type of insect was growing inside its stalk and even handled the Plant and Soil Science department's hissing cockroaches! Our group was then given a tour by an admissions counselor and treated to lunch in the campus dining hall. It was a very positive experience and did a great job to showcase the college's agriculture program.

This past Saturday, Twelve National Honor Society students assisted members of the Attica Lion's Club with cleaning parts of Route 98 and Clinton street. A big shout out to the following students.
