Students in Advanced Chemistry and Physics had the opportunity to tour Argonne labs and Fermilab. They saw the fastest supercomputer with AI functionality (the size of 4 tennis courts) and the photon accelerator used to take nanoparticle pictures (via a 3/4 mile accelerator).
On March 4th, the Rockridge High School NHS hosted their Spring blood drive with ImpactLife. At the drive they were able to collect 39 donations, qualifying our school for the ImpactLife Lifesavings Grant. We will be granted $270 + $1 per donation for any donation above and beyond 20. Throughout the month of March, donors can go to any of the ImpactLife donor centers, donate blood, and credit Rockridge HS (group code 336) at registration. Your donation will be added to the blood drive’s total in hopes to increase our blood drive donation total and increase funds we earn for the grant. Grant funds will be put towards a charity chosen by the NHS students. Please consider donating.
