📝 Checks payable to Robinson High School

Students were involved in every step of the process. The project began outdoors, where they learned how to identify and responsibly harvest trees for lumber. After the trees were cut into logs, students helped prepare the wood by removing bark and milling it into usable pieces.

The lumber was then stacked and dried for 4–6 months. The following school year, students planed the rough lumber into boards and carefully measured and cut each piece needed for the birdhouse.

Working together, they assembled the base, walls, and roof, turning the boards into a finished structure. Finally, each birdhouse was spray painted bright cardinal red to give it a smooth finish and help protect the wood from the weather.

Every birdhouse was inspected before completion, giving students a sense of pride in creating a product that is both functional and attractive.

🏡 Support our students and add a beautiful birdhouse to your yard!
Contact Mr. Waddell at RHS if you would like to purchase one!

🎓 AVID Wednesday Spotlight: WICOR in Action! ✏️📚

The foundation of AVID techniques is the WICOR framework — Writing, Inquiry, Collaboration, Organization, and Reading — and it was on full display at Sylvan Hills High School.

In Mrs. Bridges’ history class, students explored industrialization and its impact on countries worldwide. After reading about the topic in class, they dug deeper through research, organized their findings into visual models, collaborated on large‑scale posters, and used inquiry to understand how global events shaped the modern world.

👕 Don’t forget to wear your college or career shirt tomorrow and celebrate the strategies that help our scholars think critically and dream big.

Our RHS students recently had an incredible hands-on learning experience with the Ouachita Baptist University Kinesiology Department!

Students visited the physiology lab, where they learned about advanced tracking equipment used to study movement and performance. They rotated through interactive stations featuring motor control and balance testing, heart rate monitoring, and reaction time tracking.

It was a fantastic opportunity for our students to see real-world applications of science in action and explore the field of kinesiology firsthand! 💪🔬
