This site offers teachers countless free resources for downloading and printing for students to use.
Vocabulary sheets and other graphic organizers are just a couple examples.
Tips & Tricks: Got broken crayons?
Recycle old crayons into easy grip drawing tools! Peel them and put the pieces in a greased muffin pan.
Bake at 275 degrees until the crayons have melted. Do NOT move the pan!! Turn off the oven and pull the
pan out AFTER it has thoroughly cooled. This will give you round crayon disks.

Flowing Wells High ROTC Student
Gets Scholar Athlete Honor.
Check out the article below about his accomplishments
ifrom Tucson News Now!
Flowing Wells senior rifleman Adam McClintock will be recognized later this
month by the State of Arizona as a 4A/5A AIA Scholar Athlete of the year for his
efforts in the classroom at Flowing Wells High School, and his success in the sport
of Air Rifle.
Adam lost both his parents in a tragic motorcycle accident the second day of his
freshman year at Flowing Wells. It took him that first year to deal with the loss
and refocus on life, his grades suffered tremendously.
At the urging of his uncle, Adam joined the Junior ROTC at Flowing Wells his
sophomore year and took up the Olympic sport of Air Rifle.
Adam has taken his new-found focus and used it to be a national contender in the
sport. Last year he was awarded his Distinguished Rifleman Badge (one of 800
issued worldwide). This year he won the regional championships, state, and the
Western States regional and is ranked in the top 3 in the Nation.
He has also become a young man dedicated to excellence in education.
McClintock transformed his first year GPA of below a 1.0 to a current 3.48. This
semester he has above a 4.0 GPA.
Next month he travels to Alabama to shoot in the U.S. Junior Olympic National
Championships. Late in July he has been invited (as one of 15 nationally ranked
shooters) to compete at the US Olympic Center, Colorado Springs, to compete for a
position on the US Olympic Developmental Team.
His ultimate goal is to make one of the two slots on a future Olympic team.
McClintock plans to attend the University of Arizona next fall and major in
Engineering
