A Chemistry Story

Chemistry student writes a story using elements.

A trip to Francium

After deciding against a space tour to neptunium and plutonium, I decided to go to Europium. I flew from Californium to Francium. When I got to Francium, the first thing I did was get stuck in terbium traffic. It was a hassium. Luckily, my cab driver, Antimony, was a good samarium and got through safely. I tipped him in silver. After getting to my hotel, Iodine at a nice restaurant. After I ate, I looked to see that all of the waitresses except one argon. I ask her where the bathroom was so I could wash my hands in the zinc. After seeing a platinum selling artist perform at the darmstadtium , I decided I was ready to go home. I took a cruise on the seaborgium back home to Americium. The person next to me got sea sick. I hated to see them sulfur . Finally, I could see the neon signs! When I arrived on shore, a nobelium person escorted me to a taxi and drove me home. I definitely can’t wait to go back. It was the least boron trip I ever went on! By Sarah Skrypek

Nordic Ski Team Update

Twelve cross country skiers from the Ladysmith Nordic Ski Team competed in the Northern Conference Ski meet this past week. The conditions were a little brisk but that provided a well packed and very fast course for the skiers from all around Northern Wisconsin. Considering that this was our first year as a team, all the skiers did a fantastic job and we fully expect to build upon this season’s experiences and be back next year stronger than ever. Of special note, International students Mariana Morales Rodriguez (Mexico) and Martin Boye (Netherlands) each competed in what was their very first ski race. For Mariana, this was her first real winter – snow included!!

University of Minnesota-Duluth Tour

On January 26th, 26 students from the Ladysmith Health Care Academy attended a tour of the University of Minnesota – Duluth Campus and Medical School. One of the highlights was the tour of the Gross Anatomy Lab in which students were treated to presentations delivered by 2nd year Medical Students through examination of several brains, spinal cords, hearts and kidneys. Health Care Academy students all commented on how it helped so much to see these organs in person as opposed to simply relying on textbook diagrams and models. In addition, the students were led through the pathology lab were the Medical School Students pointed out some of the favorite specimens including different types of cancerous growths and tissues.

Girls' Basketball "C" Team Update

The Girls C Basketball Team has a roster of 9 girls. All 9 girls have a great opportunity to see lots of minutes on the court this year. We have two players from Korea, Daun (Nikki) Kim and Junga (Claire) Eum and Rhiassa Brondi from Brazil. They bring a lot of energy to our team! Karansa Franzen (Junior), Dakota Thompson (Freshman) and Raven Engelbrecht (Freshman) lead our team on the court. Karansa is a great vocal leader. She does a great job of keeping the team focused on the court. Dakota and Raven work really well together and do most of the ball handling for our team. Daniella Baker (Freshman), Kayla Gudis (Freshman) and Kayla Lobermeir (Freshman) also contribute a great deal to our team. The girls are gaining a lot of great experience this year and are improving every game.
