Christopher Jeruzal came to talk to Mrs. Fatura‘s STEM class today about his careers in mechanical engineering and data analysis. It was exciting to learn about his educational background, work experiences and many passions related to STEM. Thank you Christopher for sharing your advice and exposing our students to many career options.

Members of the Pentwater Green Schools Club recently put together an eco-friendly basket to raffle. The proceeds were donated to the Australian Red Cross to help with the relief efforts after the wildfires. It was the idea and passion of Anna VanDuinen, Evalena Jeruzal, Cassie Cormany and Aubrey Macintosh! A total of $100 was donated and the winner of the basket was Makaylah Cornelisse, a senior at Pentwater. So proud of these students for having an idea and following it through with great success!
Students in Mrs. Fatura’s advanced chemistry class taught a chemistry lesson to Mrs. Macher’s 3rd grade class for Valentine’s Day. They used observations, questioning, inquiry and experimentation to figure out the chemistry behind a popular valentines novelty item called “wack-a-packs” in which a heart-shaped balloon pops out of a package after force is applied. It was a great way to show a real-world chemistry connection!
Final donations are in! K-12 art students raised $1,144.38 for the Pentwater Community Food Pantry!
