The headline might read "Burning of the Amazon Rain Forest Released a Billion Tons of CO2 Last Year." How can scientists know that? How can they measure a gas released into the atmosphere? One way is to use 'stoichiometry.' If a chemist knows how much fuel burned, she can calculate the amount of the gas released using a balanced chemical equation. Today students will perform a lab to determine the amount of CO2 released when a candle burns. This is based on an article I 'published' last year on ChemEdX. https://www.chemedx.org/activity/how-burning-candle-can-teach-stoichiometry?fbclid=IwY2xjawP2-ttleHRuA2FlbQIxMABicmlkETFjbzV3M2RUUHlHSFN0ektCc3J0YwZhcHBfaWQQMjIyMDM5MTc4ODIwMDg5MgABHtFu_gs_lnuSe8vyWv9CMbTB3JyZYdmBgV0i6pC_AvtxRlnoCE-lcVnjVPOj_aem_F6UTfnWh1sLCoZoWb1jSbg

We are proud to introduce Dolores Goodwin to anyone who doesn’t already know her!
This month we are honored to recognize Dolores Goodwin as our Elmwood Community Member of the Month. She is a longtime resident of Elmwood and has seen some of her grandchildren graduate as Trojans. You would never guess she’s 88 by her incredible energy and vibrant personality. Dolores’ positivity is truly contagious, and over the past few months her constant encouragement and kind comments toward our students have not gone unnoticed. 💛
Our basketball coaches were so touched by her support that they invited Dolores in to personally thank her for her dedication and uplifting messages. Her belief in our kids and our school has meant more than she may ever know.
Dolores absolutely demonstrates the values of The Trojan Way—positivity, journey, hardworking, caring—and she sets a powerful example for our entire community.
Thank you, Dolores, for being such a bright light for Elmwood CUSD #322. We are so grateful for you! 🧡🖤

Yesterday afternoon, 25 students were recognized as Elmwood Jr. and Sr. High's Students You Should Know . Hosted by the Elmwood Jr. and Sr. High Parent Club, this event was designed for the following:
Celebrate students who exemplify good citizenship, show kindness, or positively impact their peers and community.
Acknowledge those with a strong work ethic, both academically and in extracurricular activities.
Highlight students who have shown notable improvement in academics, behavior, or personal growth.
Today's event is more than just an academic accolade; it’s an opportunity to honor well-rounded students who have made a difference, whether quietly or through leadership.
Teachers and staff members nominated students who stand out for their character, perseverance, and positive influence on the school community. Each teacher/staff member had the opportunity to nominate someone, but it is not mandatory that they do so. Nominated students may not always be in the spotlight, but their actions and attitudes contribute significantly to the school’s environment.
Congratulations
#TrojanWay
