Senior Spotlight: Savanna Bryant-Frentress
Joining Oasis Academy for her sophomore year in high school, graduating senior Savanna Bryant-Frentress has sound advice for future students.
“My advice for future students is do not procrastinate. Work ahead of schedule. I promise it will make your life a whole lot easier and make the school year go by super quick,” she said.
During Bryant-Frentress' time at Oasis, she found a school focused on students and opportunities.
“I started at Oasis my sophomore year, and I have loved it,” she said. “I have enjoyed the fellow students and the staff. My favorite memory at Oasis is the friendly staff, especially how all the staff get to know you one-on-one. I am forever grateful for the opportunities that I got from Oasis and where they are going to put me in the future.”
Mr. Eric Grimes has specifically made an impact on the senior.
“I would like to thank Mr. Grimes for pushing me to do things he knew I didn’t like and getting me out of my comfort zone,” she said. “I really enjoyed my government class taught by Mr. Grimes. This is because there were a lot of hands-on projects assigned, and while doing them, I learned a lot of things from history.”
Bryant-Frentress will graduate in May and plans to continue her education, including finishing her associate of science degree and attending veterinary school.
Chain Reactions and Force
Mrs. Jolene Coverston’s third-grade class performed science experiments to learn about chain reactions and force. The students blew up balloons and used them to try and move objects like bricks.
“My group blew up balloons and then used them to push over bricks,” said Lucy Bell. “The harder we pushed the balloons, the more the bricks moved. We learned the more force, the more the chain reaction was with the bricks.”
Coverston enjoyed watching the students go through the scientific process.
“Students have been able to explore what makes an object move. This week, we focused on chain reactions. It was fascinating to see their creativity as they moved blocks around their workspace,” she said.
