Rogers Ranch 7th graders recently participated in the Youth Frontiers Courage Retreat.
The retreat is put on by Youth Frontiers, based out of Minnesota. The end goal is for students to learn how to act with courage to build a positive school culture and climate.
Rogers also had several student volunteers from Cesar Chavez High School support with small group facilitation. These high school students were chosen by their teachers based on their academic merit, athletics, and leadership skills.

Rogers Ranch MESA Team Ranks at Regional Design Day
Rogers Ranch participated in the MESA (Mathematics, Engineering, Science Achievement) Regional Design Day at GCU on February 11. Students either participated in challenges or received feedback on their designs. The Attack Vehicle group from Rogers Ranch School was one of the few groups with a moving robot. The Rogers Ranch Hack Attack group were able to compete against other teams, and consistently ranked in the top 5 during those practices. They will now use the practice and feedback from Saturday to help them prepare for MESA Day, which will be held at GCU on May 6.

Rogers Ranch Students Compete at Southwest Space Settlement Design Competition
Twelve Rogers Ranch students had an opportunity to visit the Biosphere in Oracle last month for the Southwest Space Settlement Design Competition. Rogers Ranch was the only middle school competing at the event against high school students from Arizona, New Mexico, Utah, Nevada, and California.
Students worked in teams to complete an aerospace engineering project. They had to design a vehicle to enable long term surface exploration of Mars for the purpose of identifying candidate sites for a future settlement on the Martian surface. NASA scientists were on hand to assist students with any questions or clarification. Teachers and adults were not allowed to assist the students.
It was exhilarating to see our students take what they were learning in 8th Grade science to solve problems on Mars. After the presentations, the scientist gave feedback to each team.
Mr. Gonzales (7th grade science) and Christina Pineda chaperoned the group. Training, lodging, food, mentors, and materials were provided.
