Metamora Grade School

5A and 5B students have been learning how to use the steps of the Engineering Design Process. Today they used those steps to create a catapult that will launch a candy pumpkin the farthest. Our longest launch was about 800 centimeters. Pretty impressive!

With the help of the entire MGS family, Student Council was able to collect 520 pairs of new socks for Peoria-area shelters during Socktober.
