Our upper level mathematics classes are participating again this year in the University of Memphis's Canstruction, an engineering team project (April 15). Students work alongside a volunteer engineer and their teacher (Mrs. Jane Morgan) to design a structure built out of canned goods. Canstruction is a competition, and teams are awarded prizes for various design and execution facets of the project.
All upper school students have been asked to donate canned goods for the Canstruction students to use. Each grade level is assigned a particular color of label.
7th - Hunt's Tomatoes
8th - Superlo generic corn or Red Gold tomatoes
9th - Kroger green beans or sweet peas or Aldi green beans
10th - Kroger potatoes or pinto beans - wood paneling
11th - Ranch Style Beans
12th - Kroger lite peaches or pears
Although the competition among classes ended on March 5, students may still bring canned goods to help the project. Once the competition is over, all the canned goods are donated to the Memphis Food Bank.
