First of all thank you to all who have helped provide all of our students with free seconds by purchasing seconds cards. Unfortunately we are very close to our current supply of seconds cards running out, it probably will not last through the end of the week. So as soon as tomorrow if your child wants seconds at lunch he/she will have to have a seconds card. They cost $10 and will get you about 6 seconds or if you want to pay each time it will cost $1.50.

Fourth Grade tried for the first time the state dessert, Kuchen. Students thought it tasted a lot like a cheesecake only thicker.

Thanks to all the purchases at the Book Fair in October, we were able to get 87 new books for our library!

At home, our girls invite Hankinson for a couple matchups- due to some health concerns and smaller numbers, the JV game will only be three quarters this evening. They will start at 6:15pm.

Students in Mrs. Kirchmeier’s chemistry class have been learning about the combined gas law. One experiment they did was seeing how a quick temperature change from hot to cold made soda cans implode. The empty cans were filled with a little bit of water and set on the stove to boil. When the water boils, the can fills with water vapor. When the can is then immersed in the ice water, the water vapor cools down and condenses into water droplets. This leads to a void inside the can and the air outside can compress it without resistance.

Sorry the NFHS scheduling wasn't correct, but the boys game will start streaming at 5:20! Junior High basketball starts at 4:00 tonight v Browns Valley! Girls at 4, Boys at 5. You can find the game online at https://www.nfhsnetwork.com/schools/wilmot-high-school-wilmot-sd
