It is important to know how your equipment works. So after failing in the lab due to not knowing how equipment worked, Chemistry students were able to do the Solubility Lab again and looking at the relationship between water temperature and the rate of solubility.

Expect parking, lane restrictions along several streets in Joseph City as ADOT administers new sidewalk project Aug. 25
The Arizona Department of Transportation advises Joseph City residents to prepare for parking and lane restrictions along several local streets beginning Monday, Aug. 25, for a new project to install sidewalks.
Residents can expect shoulder restrictions along the affected streets throughout the project. Residents who park their vehicles along the shoulder of their street will need to move their vehicles when crews reach their homes to construct the new sidewalks.
The construction schedule is as follows:
• Phase I: Work will begin along 4th North Avenue starting at Westover Avenue and moving towards Randall Avenue. Crews will move south on Randall Avenue and then west along 3rd North Avenue to Westover Avenue.

• Phase II: Work will continue south on Randall Avenue from 3rd North Ave to 1st north Ave. Crews will then work east to west along 1st North Avenue. Crews will then work along Shelly, Westover, and Bushman Avenues from Main Street to 2nd North Avenue.


• Phase III: Crews will complete the project by working at various corners to install ADA-compliant sidewalk pedestrian ramps throughout the project area.

There may be driveway restrictions at certain locations when crews are working in front of residences.
Other work includes ADA compliant pedestrian ramps and curb and gutter at limited locations.
The purpose of this project, which ADOT is administering on behalf of Navajo County, is to improve pedestrian safety. The project is scheduled to be completed by the end of November.
For more information, visit the project webpage at azdot.gov/projects under the Northeast District.

At the beginning of every year, Chemistry students need to demonstrate lab skills in order to be able to do labs . . . . . so far, so good - getting ready for a new year.

Who is planning to go to the Varsity Football home opener?
Be there Friday at 7 PM.

THROWBACK THURSDAY: Shoutout to the class of 1978!!

The business management class is focusing on a different entrepreneur every week. This week it is Henry Ford and his impact on not only the automobile industry, but the invention of the assembly line, allowing mass production in most industries. Increased production created lower prices which created increased demand. He also provided higher wages to attract workers from other industries, even though they switched to a job that was quite monotonous.

Jerry and Charlsye Miller brought their 1971 Ford truck over so we could look at the differences from then to now. Thank you!

It was the first day of school. “Get up, Toad!” said Frog. “There are auditions for the school musical!” Toad hid under the covers. “I cannot sing. I sound like a hiccup in a rain boot.” “That’s perfect,” said Frog. “They need all kinds of voices.” After lunch, Toad crept into the music room. He sang a small, shaky song. When he finished, the teacher smiled. “Toad, you’re perfect for the Turtle Bard.” That night, Toad whispered, “Frog, today was the best first day ever.” “You sang,” said Frog. “And you were you.” Toad smiled. “Rubber boot and all.” AUDITIONS FOR A YEAR WITH FROG AND TOAD August 18 3-430/ August 19 6-8PM. Bennett Auditorium!

Finger Prints are unique to every individual. Even Identical Twins have different finger prints. Fingerprints begin to form when in the womb between 17 and 19 weeks gestation. The arches, tentarches, whorls, and loops are influenced by the friction that occurs in the womb from tissues and amniotic fluid. If it is hard to see your fingerprint patterns, finger print a white balloon and slightly inflate it.

Only a few days left in this contest. Please show your support. https://americasfavteacher.org/2025/michael-gayer
