We are very proud of 7th grader Marshall for his contributions to a collaborative research project with Illinois Central College that was presented at the American Association of Physics Teachers National Summer Meeting in Pasadena, California!
Marshall participated in a research workshop at ICC and continued working on the Cloud Spotting on Mars project during school breaks. His dedication, curiosity, and love of learning led to his work being featured at a national conference.
Dr. Viji Varadarajan, ICC Physics Professor, shared the following about Marshall: "Presenting research at a national conference is an exceptional accomplishment that highlights his dedication, critical thinking, and ability to contribute meaningfully to scholarly work at an early stage in his academic journey. This achievement reflects Marshall's sustained commitment to academic excellence and scientific inquiry."
We are so proud of Marshall and his hard work, and we are grateful that Dr. Varadarajan and Professor Grote shared his accomplishment with us!
We can't wait to see all that Marshall accomplishes in his future!

Have you seen this uniform?
If your student participated in track last spring and you still have a CIS uniform at home, please return it to the CIS Office as soon as possible.
We're getting ready for cross country season and are running low on uniforms. Every uniform that finds its way back helps ensure our runners are ready for their first meet!
Please take a quick peek in closets, sports bags, and laundry rooms. We'd love to welcome those uniforms back home.
