Super Volcano?

What is a super volcano?

National Geographic has an article about Yellowstone National Park, explaining a fear that geologists have about a volcanic eruption of the largest kind.

What do you think? Could it happen? How could we reduce the destruction from such an eruption?

Here is a recent story from CBS.

Are there any other supervolcanoes? Yes. There is one in Sumatra called Mt Toba.

Scheduling Class for Fall 2014 / Open House

Today students selected their classes for the first year of high school. Classes will not be confirmed until parents sign the forecasting paper. This paper that students filled out is being held at North High School.

North is hosting an open house next Tuesday (2/25) from 6:00 PM - 8:00 PM. Go and meet your teachers for next year. Find out what you will be doing in the classes you selected. This is a great opportunity to ask now what to expect for the school year.

PARENTS: Your signature is required on the blue slip (class forecasting) before your child's selections will be finalized.

You are being to select your future. Choose classes that will open doors of opportunity for you. :)
