This week's Focus Friday highlights STEAM projects happening around the district. CES students designed and made harnesses for bunnies to pull a small package up a ramp. FHGS and Orwell Village School students made book reviews by recording themselves and creating video reports. Benson Village School students created self powered vehicles, and students from Ms. Doran's class at FHUMHS are working on conducting and recording interviews with our video equipment. Great job everyone!
