Bowman described the "Tower of Power" engineering competition at Carl Sandburg Middle School, where teams of students built tall towers from straws and masking tape in one hour to teach STEM skills and teamwork. He praised the students' engineering thought and team costumes.
Bowman also noted that gym night — the district's longstanding spirit competition — will be held Friday and Saturday with the theme "Game On" and said this is the district's 70th annual Gym Night, which began in 1954. He congratulated students and staff and called the event highly inclusive.
