Yes We CAN...Again!

by the eighth-grade advisory

Michael Cooper, Annika Berg, and Skyler Mullings of the 9th/10th-grade "Off Piste" advisory made a plea at All School Meeting today to help families who are struggling to put food on the tables this holiday season. As previously posted HERE on The Fighting Marmot, SBA is working with Truckee Community Christmas to collect canned goods for those in the Truckee area who might otherwise go hungry.

Student-athletes who will not be in advisory Thursday due to travel schedules: please think ahead!

Structures and Instructions: Bio Goes Hands On

collaborate

Biology students were tasked this week with building a small block structure, then articulating to a partner the procedures to be followed to replicate the structure.

Following the verbal instruction phase, students then evaluated what had worked and what had not in the process, then collaborated in drafting a clear, written set of instructions that would allow a reader to easily replicate one of the building block structures they had designed.

Hands-on Learning, SBA Style

The following report of hands-on learning, SBA style, comes from Health teacher Kristen Lew:

Friday, health class students worked through ten alcohol simulation stations around the SBA campus to increase awareness of the short-term effects of alcohol use. Students performed tasks such as threading a needle with prescription glasses on, walking a straight line after being spun six times, and speaking on the legal drinking age with a marshmallow in their mouths. In groups they were asked to not only observe what happened at each station, but also write on how each task related to alcohol use or abuse and how these various given effects could be dangerous to a drinker.

"Froshmores" Go Off Piste

Each advisory group at SBA structures its activities around a theme (there will be more surfacing on that subject in the fall newsletter, so stay tuned). One of two ninth/tenth-grade advisory groups is organizing around the theme of "Off Piste." Here, advisors Jeff Schloss, Lesley LeMasurier, and Peyton Jobe take advisees off piste to experience the Donner Summit train tunnel (no longer in operation!) as well as the petroglyphs just off of Old 40 near the summit.

Keeping Our Campus Clean!

Sugar Bowl Academy faculty and student-athletes worked together during advisory today to collect garbage from the campus grounds and around the West Bay parking area of Sugar Bowl Resort. You will notice an SBA Suburban packed for the Pole, Peddle, Paddle in Bend, OR. Go Fighting, Garbage-Collecting, Poling, Peddling, Paddling Marmots!
