Check out our Republic County Youth and Government students as we are kicking off the Kansas Youth and Government Conference today at the Kansas State Capitol in Topeka!
We are especially proud of William Cherney, who was elected Speaker of the House at last year's conference. William has served in this leadership role over the past year and is serving as a presiding officer in the Kansas Youth House today.
Check out the video linked below to see William officially open today's conference, along with some pictures of our students participating in the early legislative debates!
Throughout the day, our students will participate in the legislative process by presenting bills, debating important issues, and working alongside students from across Kansas.
Youth and Government gives students the opportunity to do more than simply learn about democracy in a classroom. They get to practice it firsthand by engaging in meaningful discussions, considering different perspectives, defending their ideas, and experiencing the responsibilities of civic participation.
Democracy is not just something we study. It is something we practice.

Advanced art is exploring metals. We have learned how to saw metal, file & sand, cast and set a resin stone, and right now exploring metal finishes.
Today Peyton Splichal experimented with a chemical free patina... a crushed up hard boiled egg in a bag. As an egg hard boils, sulfur compounds break down and release hydrogen sulfide gas. When this gas contacts the metal surface, the sulfur reacts with the metal to form a layer of metal sulfide. On copper, brass, or bronze, it forms copper sulfide, producing rich browns, bronzes, or dark grays.
Love when projects go cross curricular!

Last weekend the Robotics Team participated in the practice rounds of the BEST Robotics Competition at Wichita State University. The robot, "Uber Buff" scored very well as the robot navigated a mock kitchen in a restaurant to prepare meals and deliver them. The team utilized new design and build strategies and even built a second back up robot. We are very proud of the hard work of the robotics team and wish them the best of luck at the final state BEST robotics competition on November 7th.
The final football game of the season for the Battlin' Buffs will be Thursday-October 29 at 6 pm versus Hutch Trinity, Go Buffs!
