Rockets enjoy Pumpkin STEM lab and creative fall fun
McNicholas students celebrated fall and Halloween with pumpkins galore inside and outside the classroom! Mr. Steve Dalton's class participated in the yearly pumpkin catapult STEM lab, the English Department hosted a literary pumpkin decorating contest, and CREWs carved out some time for fun with their own contest.
Pumpkin Catapult Lab
Rockets "go big or gourd home" in Mr. Dalton's famous pumpkin catapult STEM lab every fall. Rockets tested their calculations by launching pumpkins across the grassy courtyard. We love hands-on, active learning at McNicholas!
CREW Pumpkin Decorating
Each day, students meet with their CREW members and mentor teacher for intentional formation and relationship building. This fall, CREWs worked together to decorate their own gourd-geous pumpkins.
Congrats to Mr. Brunner's CREW, winners of the CREW pumpkin decorating contest!
Literary Pumpkin Contest
The English Department tasked students to decorate a pumpkin based on a character from literature. Congratulations to our Literary Pumpkin Contest Winners for their creativity and craft!

The Science Department hosted its annual Science Fair on Thursday, Jan. 26. 35 students were invited to present their projects to a panel of judges comprised of faculty, friends of McNicholas, and Science National Honor Society members. Science teacher Ms. Mary Dennemann said, “Students have been preparing science fair projects for the 18 last weeks. We are proud of their hard work."

McNicholas engineering students stepped up to the plate, helping Little League baseball players who use walkers and wheelchairs to field ground balls. The grabbers they designed, tested, and manufactured were delivered to the Mason Challenger Baseball team in December.
