Ms. Eisen joins GWCS every afternoon to teach Studio Art and because she's a good sport is also co-teaching Health/PE!
500 Pounds of Spaghetti for Martha's Table
Does anyone remember that great children's book Strega Nona with the pasta pot that overflows into the village? Well, after the spaghetti drive last week, GWCS collected enough pasta to reenact that story! Ms. Warden set forth a food drive challenge to all eight GWCS advisories to see which one could collect the most spaghetti. At the end of the week we had over 500 pounds of spaghetti with Mr. Torres' advisory coming in first place with a whopping total of 140 pounds.

Lowest Scores in School History
It was May 4th. It was a cold and rainy day. Joe RC had a 38. Patrick Maton had a 41. These were new lows for GWCS students. They had just come up from their first SCUBA diving experience in open water and those were their maximum depths on their dive computers. We were diving at Lake Rawlings in Southern Virginia and the visibility was excellent. The course was taught by world-renown diving master Ed Fink of Woodbridge Scuba.
Coyote Robotics Brings Home Three Trophies
The GW Community School/Coyote Robotics Teams competed this past Saturday, May 21, 2011, in the 2nd Annual RoboRally at Osbourn Park High School in Manassas. GWCS contributed three robots to the field of 22, and encountered a variety of challenges during the qualifying rounds, ranging from burned-out motors (with no working spares!) to broken track links (with all the spares left at school!). Despite finishing ranked 9th, 16th, and 20th after qualifying, we finished with strong performances and effective robots. J.P. Fisch and Matt Apostolico lobbied the four alliance captains and convinced the 4th-ranking alliance captain to select them as their partner for the elimination rounds.
