Leo was caught being a great human in Mrs. James’ 6th grade science class! He voluntarily cleaned up a mess left by another student, using wet wipes to scrub ink off the table legs. When asked about it, Leo shared advice from his mother: “If you want to grow up to be a good person, help people when you see they need help. Do something good for them!” Kudos to Leo—and his mom—for raising such a wonderful young man!

By keeping their lines taut, students saw firsthand how sound vibrations travel through solid mediums as mechanical waves. 📝💡
