Yesterday Mr. Repking’s Government class went to Springfield to tour the capitol building and visit with their State Representative, Adam Niemerg. Mr. Niemerg showed us his office in the Stratton Building and explained what goes on in a typical day in Springfield. The Stratton Building is connected to the State Capitol Building by an underground tunnel. He took us through the tunnel where we were able to see the original 1877 foundation of the capitol. We then were given a tour of the entire capitol. The class was able to go on the house floor where Mr. Niemerg showed us his desk and all the buttons he uses to vote on legislation. The representatives were in session that day, so we were able to watch session from the gallery. Mr. Niemerg announced our presence during the session and all the representatives gave us a warm welcome. If you would like to see the video, it is on Mr. Niemerg’s Facebook page. It was a great experience enjoyed by all the students and chaperones.

Fourth graders in Mrs. Koester’s Science class were challenged to construct a building the would withstand and earthquake.

Today the Auto Club went to Princeton, IN and toured the Toyota Manufacturing Plant where they assemble the Toyota Sienna and Highlander. It's a massive facility that employs over 7000 people. We were able to take photos in the interactive experience center, but photos were not allowed in the assembly plant. The students were able to see the start-to-finish process of a vehicle being assembled.
