Our School Resource Officer, Darwin Mitchell, worked with students in Mrs. Fatura's forensic science class on field sobriety tests and how the breathalyzer test works. Students used mouthwash to see how it affected the test and investigated the different durations of time to see the progressive lowering of the results. The class is currently studying forensic toxicology and it was very interesting to have Officer Mitchell share his knowledge with the class.
Thank you to all of our students and community members who donated so many amazing books to our Book Swap! Today 143 books were exchanged at our Camp Read S'more Book Swap. That means 143 books went to new homes and were "recycled." Enjoy your new books, students. Happy reading!

Middle School quizbowl made the annual journey to Hart Middle School to compete against other Oceana Middle School teams. The other schools represented were Hart and Walkerville. unfortunately, we did not win, but it was a great learning opportunity. The kids learned that guessing is okay and that frequently the simpler answer is correct. 8th graders were Xach Davis, Silas Jobbins, Janie Hasil, and Shyra Bigsby. 7th graders were Brianna Musil, Xaria Davis, and Stella Bouye. I am proud of them competing and being able to introduce them into this opportunity. Kelly Sisung
