Elmwood alum Tiffany (French) Thomas visited Physical Science classes to talk about the late-1800s electrical powerplant in Elmwood, one that some of the first rural power in the nation. It eventually became part of CILCO.
Tiffany's "Prairie Tales" series can be found on the Elmwood Center for the Humanities Youtube page. Today's episode, "A Spark In History," is fascinating.
Talking about her work, and how it relates to what she learned at EHS: ""I do research just like I did as a student here. I write out quotes. I write down my sources. I create an outline. All of the things I learned here."

The other day we had a shop meeting for something that we can improve on for this coming year to be better and come back stronger for next year. We also included some of next years team members to get them in on what we should fix to get better as a team.
