    Trout Magazine has featured one of our teachers, 7th and 8th grade science teacher Carolyn Thomas, in a well-written, informative, and very cool article entitled "Stream Champion" in their Winter 2013 issue!  Not only that, they gave us permission to link to it!  The article will tell you what some Mustangs have been up to lately in Mrs. Thomas' class!  Just click on the trout!
     
    Mustangs had fun recently trying to line up 10 "dominoes" to knock down a bottle of glue!  The "dominoes" were constructed out of reams of paper.  People have been playing dominoes in some form for about 900 years!
