Hundreds of Washburn Rural High School band, choir, and orchestra students traveled to southern California over Spring Break, splitting their time between San Diego and Los Angeles. The trip served as a catalyst for artistic growth, educational enrichment, and unforgettable memories! Highlights included a Jazz Band performance and full group tour of the USS Midway, educational clinics at San Diego State and the University of Southern California (USC), and a performance and visit to Universal Studios. They also had the chance to visit Mission Beach, the San Diego Zoo, LA Philharmonic Orchestra, and the Santa Monica Pier.

Navigating a group of this size is never easy, but Band Director Luke Chaffee has it down to a science. Here's a look at their trip by the numbers:
🧳258 travelers, including 40 adult chaperones
🚌7 school buses to and from the airport in Kansas City
🚍5 charter buses in California
✈️2 flights
🏢2 hotels
☀️and sunshine the entire time!

We love providing our students with enriching opportunities like this!

Washburn Rural High School chemistry students put scientific technology to the test this week, using Vernier probes to gather real-time data and create linear graphs for analysis. Students examined three electrolyte solutions to determine which had the best conductivity based on slope. Hands-on experiments like this demonstrate practical applications beyond the classroom – in this particular case, how a solution conductivity lab can be used to identify the electrolyte solution most suitable for consumers. Science rocks!
