WOODLAND R-IV

Dallas Otto is shown working on our Promethean board to plot points for his robotics path following program. TG Missouri has sponsored the team this year with odometry parts. These parts help the robot maintain position on the field during a match. Students are very excited to learn more about the parts and use them next year! Thank you TG-Missouri!

Drayden Lungwitz built this stool for our pre-K students to watch birds from the windows in their classroom. The bench is strong enough to support four high school students, so we think he completed the task! Good job Drayden and congratulations to him and all of his classmates on their graduation this week!

Woodland Robotics team members attended a tour of TG Missouri's facilities in Perryville last week. They were shown how robotics is helping the company be more productive in their shipping and assembly operations. Students have shown interest in pursuing careers in robotics after high school.

Woodland students recently competed in their district industrial technology competition in Fredericktown Missouri. Students Peyton King, Issac Allgier, and Colby Brotherton were the students that finished their projects in time for the deadline.

They competed against 8 other schools in the area. They unfortunately did not advance to State competition but many of Mr. Stegeman's students are coming back next year to try again.

Mr. Stegeman's Carpentry students have been working on their personal projects for the year. They are in various stages of completion with many students focused on their graduation due to being seniors this year. Here are some great examples of their work!

It's not too late⏰ We are accepting donations for elementary play day through Friday, May 8th.

Light refreshments will be served.
