The Catalyst Club Executive Board recently met with local and state legislators to advocate for community health. After months of studying substance-use prevention, these students proposed stronger ID verification policies, like mandatory scanners, to help prevent underage tobacco and alcohol purchases. 🎙️
It was a proud "full circle" moment for the district as State Representative Daniel Didech (a D102 alum) worked alongside four Stevenson High School Catalyst members, all D102 alumni! 🤝✨

Talk about a high-stakes leap! 📉 Our 7th-grade Bridge to Algebra 1 students put their statistics skills to the ultimate test with the Barbie Bungee project.
To give Barbie a thrill without hitting the floor, students acted as precision engineers by collecting data and creating scatter plots. They used their lines of best fit to calculate the exact number of rubber bands needed for a successful drop from the stairwell. 🎢📏✨
