Mr. Martin's Home Maintenance class is working on repairing holes in drywall. Home Maintenance focuses on the information that is helpful for students as they look forward to moving into a home for the first time. This class is great for any student who plans on owning a home in the future and doesn't want to pay for everything to be done for them.
Chef D and her culinary students are studying eggs, and today they learned how to poach eggs for their eggs benedict. They also prepared a hollandaise sauce which was delicious!
Leah Renwanz's Human Anatomy and Physiology I class dissected pigs to learn about their anatomy.
Chef D taught her culinary students how to concasse tomatoes today. Concasse is a French cooking term for tomatoes that have been peeled, seeded, and roughly chopped. They turned the tomatoes into a bruschetta which is a crustini with feta, the fresh tomatoes, and fresh basil. They then drizzled each with a balsamic glaze. They were so delicious!

Hi 8th-grade families - Did you know Greene County Middle School offers the Skip the Trip program?
Skip the Trip is a program offered by the Iowa DOT that allows students to take the web-based driver's permit knowledge test at school instead of traveling to a DMV or county treasurer's office, making the process more convenient for families and potentially reducing congestion at service centers. Students who pass the test receive an email verification and then make an appointment at a DMV to complete the process and be issued their instruction permit.
Your student can study now and take the test up to 30 days before their 14th birthday. They just need to stop in the middle school library to set up a time to take the test. More information, including the online manual and practice test, can be found at the link below.
If you have any questions, email powersj@greenecountycsd.net
