Central Elementary Celebrates Engineers’ Week

Posted/span> on February 24, 2017 in Central, District News

Eighteen Lennox engineers from various engineering backgrounds came to Central Elementary on February 23rd to teach 4th graders about the joys of their jobs and to celebrate engineers week.

Lennox Engineering Visits Central Elementary

Eighteen Lennox engineers from a wide-variety of backgrounds came to Central Elementary on February 23 to explore with 4th graders the joys of engineering. Their visit corresponded with Engineers’ Week.

According to The National Society of Professional Engineers, Engineer Week is dedicated to ensuring a diverse and well-educated future engineering workforce by increasing understanding of and interest in engineering and technology careers.

What Does an Engineer Do?

The engineers who visited Central Elementary had careers ranging from electrical engineers to mechanical engineers.  Students were really excited to find out they were even engineers whose sole job was to break things. These engineers break and test items in extreme conditions to ensure the product was suited for a variety of environments.

Real World Skills in Engineering

After speaking about their jobs as engineers, the professionals led students through a lesson on bridge design.  Students, alongside engineers, developed plans and built bridges like a real engineer. They later tested their designs for strength. The students became real engineers.

The Day was a Success at Central Elementary

Both the Central students and engineers felt as if they had a great deal of learning during the day’s events. Central Elementary 4th graders left with a greater knowledge of the world of engineering. The students were excited that they could choose engineering as a possible career path. The day gave students new skills in engineering, and they all walked away with a smile on their face.

Newman Smith Regional Wrestling Results

Posted/span> on February 23, 2017 in Athletics, District News, Smith High School, Smith Wrestling

The Trojan wrestlers had a pretty good start to the regional tournament. During day one on Friday, all three boys that entered the tournament won at least one match. Both Tyrese Lewis and Chris Conway won two matches and returned for day 2. On the second day of competition, Lewis' tournament ended with a 6th place finish. He ended his season as a regional placer with a 25-9 overall record. Conway's path was an odyssey worthy of a Trojan hero. He won his first match of the date then was narrowly defeated in his second. That loss sent him to the 5th place match, which he won. That victory allowed him to challenge for the fourth place wrestler for a berth to the state wrestling finals. In his final battle of the weekend, Chris Conway avenged two previous losses against a competitor from Creekview and will be the Trojans' lone qualifier for state in his first competitive season.
