“EGG-STRA” Special Science Experiment
Mrs. Rosener’s class did an amazing, interactive science experiment with an egg and vinegar! In Mrs. Rosener’s science class students experimented with an egg and vinegar. Students took a raw egg, shell and placed it in a cup of vinegar. After a day, the class made observations and talked about what they thought would happen to the egg. A week later, students were able to look at the egg and they were surprised by what they saw! The shell was gone, and the egg had a bouncy, rubber feeling to it. Some students described the egg feeling like they were holding a water balloon in their hand. Students learned that leaving the egg in vinegar for a week caused the shell to dissolve, leaving the egg white and egg yolk protected by the egg’s membrane. The vinegar created an acid base reaction and the shell slowly dissolved. Thanks to the membrane, students were able to hold the egg and learned what caused the egg to have that bouncy, rubber-like feel to it.

The Pride of FPS
The Fairbury High School Marching Band travelled to Grand Island on Monday, August 26th to perform at the Nebraska State Fair. The band got to display the pep tunes they’ve been practicing and the marching skills they’ve been learning. The percussion section also got to show off their 2024 cadence “BUMPER“. The band sounded great! It was a really hot day, and these musicians toughed it out. Despite the heat, they gave their all. After they marched, the band had some free time to explore the state fair before returning to Fairbury to finish the school day.
Next stop, Yorkfest Parade in York, NE on September 7th.
You can catch the band in action at home in Fairbury on Thursday, August 29th cheering on Jeffs Volleyball against Freeman, and on Friday, September 6th supporting Jeffs Football against Fillmore Central!
