50TH ANNIVERSARY OF THE SCIENTIFIC DISCOVERY OF DNA
To commemorate this event, every student learned about DNA and completed a special DNA
 project in Science class.  Amazing advancements in science and medicine have been made
due to the discovery of DNA.  Everyone was asked to wear his or her favorite pair of jeans to
school and remind everyone that Genes or DNA were discovered on April 25th fifty years ago. HAPPY DNA DAY!

The Panthers cluster built the structure of the DNA molecule
Deoxnbose Nucleic Acid in the school's front foyer.
