7th & 8th grade science classes built model cars powered by solar panels. They then took to the outdoors to race.

FROM THE 4TH GRADE:
The 4th grade has sold out of the first edition of "Are You Smarter than a Princeton Academy Student?" We are going into production with a second edition to sell on Field Day. We have covered our overhead and paid out a dividend to our stockholders. We reimbursed the Academy for our expenses and that money will be deposited in The Richard Stobaugh Plant Endowment Fund for Princeton Academy. We are considering sharing our profits with the following nonprofit groups: Greyhound Angels Adoptions, S.A.V.E., HomeFront, and the Old Barracks.

This week a "new" assistant to the LS Head and a "new" LS Head could be seen shadowing Mrs. Sweetland and Mr. Stobaugh. Liam and Alexander spent a day doing their jobs. Liam answered phones, put together a booklet for Mrs. Trinacria, and running errands with Mrs. Sweetland. Alexander attended meetings, declared an out of uniform day for LS students and faculty, and ran LS assembly with Mr. Stobaugh. They shared a "power lunch" of pizza and hoagies!

The weather was perfect for Field Day this year! Games, competitions, and a cookout provided for a fun day. Special thanks to our faculty and parent volunteers for making this such a great day!
