Mrs. Denise Kruppa's Core Enrichment class recently completed their bridge building project. The students were to draw blue prints, purchase building material, keep a balanced account and construct a bridge out of toothpicks and glue. Students were taught how to write out checks, complete purchase order forms and how to balance a checking account. Once the bridges were completed a stress test was conducted. The completed bridge held 100 pounds.

D. Davalos, B. Rozner, and J. Swift are shown working hard on their eighth grade Core Enrichment project. Their project was created in stages: 1) sketched ideas (what they thought it would look like; 2) a "bare-bones" layout, 3) followed by lots and lots of DETAIL!

Mrs. Denise Kruppa's core enrichment class held a mock trial to culminate their study of court room procedures. Mrs. Poulton's class came to watch the proceedings as Miss Cloud's class, the jury, found the defendent guilty. Dr. Wesson, the judge, made sure all the proceedings stayed within the law.

The Science & Spanish Club students from Tidehaven Intermediate School assembled in front of the LCRA Nature Learning Center as they prepare to measure sand dune erosion along Matagorda Beach as part of their Adopt-A-Beach cleanup experience on Saturday, September 22, 2007. Students have been conducting this scientific investigation with the University of Texas Bureau of Economic Geology for three years and will be creating a bilingual exhibit about their study inside the Nature Learning Center as part of a grant from the Coastal Management Program Cycle 12.

Students in Mr. Robert Hutto's science class are shown measuring the volume of marbles with a graduated cylinder and the mass with a balance scale to determine the density of the marbles.

Intermediate school students show their commitment to "Saying NO to Drugs" during Red Ribbon Week. Students wore crazy hats or hair on "Put a Cap on Drugs" and "Use Your Head, Don't Use Drugs" day.
