As part of her capstone, senior Sydney Gilman introduced 8th-graders at the Lyndon Town School to welding this week. With help from her classmates and Mr. Mitchell, Sydney showed the students how to properly dress for the work and how to safely operate the equipment. Each LTS student had the opportunity to do Gas Metal Arc Welding (MIG) to weld their initials into a steel plate.
As part of her Capstone project on how fundraising works and supports nonprofit organizations, senior Daryna Rakhimi (white shirt) held a bake sale this afternoon on the steps of the library.
Members of the robotics team presented the Rising All-Star Award trophy they earned to Dr. Howell during Chapel this week. This is the second year in a row the team has won the award, reflecting its strong growth and trajectory.
