Olney High School students competed on Dec. 7 in Region band auditions, in which they performed three scales and two songs in front of a panel of judges. Students that were selected joined the Honors Band or the Symphonic Band, respectively.
Three days a week, John Vasquez conducts a real-life version of “CSI: Olney” in the evidence room in the Olney Police Department, making sure that officers have properly processed and tracked evidence collected at the city’s crime scenes.
Here are some pictures from the Open Door Christian School 6th-8th grade Weather Balloon launch on Saturday. The balloon payload landed in the back of a pickup truck parked at a home in Keller, TX after reaching an altitude of over 65,000 feet. The students were able to recover everything that was on the payload including the two science experiments. The student body voted to send up pop rocks and a bouncy ball. They are currently studying what effect the atmospheric conditions at the edge of our atmosphere had on the experiments.
