CORNINGEXCHANGE STUDENTSOFMONTH Students at Lincoln Street School participated in the Hour of Code as part of Computer Science Education Week recently. Lincoln Street students were among tens of mil- lions of people around the world to take part in the largest learning event in history. A seventh grade student says she looks forward to learning about new cod- ing opportunities, and see- ing the different programs available. This year, in addition to students using code. org to learn basic pro- gramming skills, stu- dents were able to inter- act with the school's ro- botics equipment. Students enjoy learn- ing to code online, but it was special for them to write code and program a robot to do different ac- tions. Students were able to use a variety of robotic devices, such as Bee Bot, Dash and Ozobot. For more information on Lincoln Street School and its Robotics Club, visit www.lincolnstreetschool. org.

LINCOLN STREET CONTRIBUTED Students from Manton School with members of the E Clampus Vitus Lassen 1914club. The class of 2017 at Man- ton School is going to Wash- ington DC and New York on an educational traveling ad- venture. The class of five students has been raising money since August to accomplish the goal of around $2,400, per student. They have held rummageandbakesales,car washes and sold raffle bas- kets, all getting them closer and closer to helping each student reach their goal. A special opportunity came up and on Saturday Dec. 3 the students would present a speech to the E Clampus Vitus Lassen 1914 chapter. The students were invited in during the meet- ing and stood in front of the stage to nervously give their speeches to more 30 men in the club. Included in the speeches were locations they most wanted to go and see, in- cluding the 9-11 memorial and the Vietnam Wall to name a few. When the stu- dents were done, they were asked to wait outside while the members voted on a do- nation. The students were quickly invited back in to find out that the ECV Las- sen 1914 Chapter had do- nated $500 per student. The eighth-graders shook the hands of the men and everyone stepped outside to take a picture. The class thanks ECV Lassen 1914 for the oppor- tunity and its generosity.

TheAssociatedPress DENVER A rural Colorado school district decided to allow its teachers and other school staff to carry guns on campus to protect students. The Hanover School District 28 board voted 3-2 Wednesday night to allow school employees to volunteer to be armed on the job after undergo- ing training. The district's two schools serve about 270 students about 30 miles southeast of Colorado Springs, and it takes law enforcement an average of 20 minutes to get there. Board member Mi- chael Lawson backed the idea not only as way to protect students from a mass shooting, but also as protection against pos- sible violence connected with nearby marijuana grows, which he believes are connected with for- eign cartels, the Gazette of Colorado Springs re- ported.
