Mrs. Miller's physical science students ended the semester by making mouse trap cars and demonstrating their knowledge of newtons laws. The students had to plan their project, using only recycled materials and one mouse trap. Their goal was to travel at least 2 m and students received rewards for longest distance, fastest car and most creative.
The QMS staff and students brought back their annual competition this year with an EPIC kickball battle. Teams from each grade level got their chances against the staff with mixed individual results. However, the staff ended the game with a walk-off kick from Mr. Dunn to score Mr. Barnes with a fantastic headfirst slide. It was a great way to cap off a great school year before our awards next week.
QMS celebrated the last full day of the school year today. Check out all the fun news, especially the final report on our EPIC Staff vs. Student Kickball Game!

We worked out the kinks on our honor roll system and are proud to announce that we have just over 250 students receiving various awards (from honor roll to teacher-given awards). If you have a question about an award or message you received, please contact our office. We look forward to celebrating our QMS kids next Monday and Tuesday!
It's camp time in first grade!

Quincy Scores Two Big Wins over Reading on Senior Night
The Quincy Orioles celebrated Senior Night with a pair of Big 8 Conference wins over rival Reading. In two competitive games the Orioles came away with a 9-8 win in extra innings and a 5-1 win.
In game one there were plenty of heroics. The Orioles never led in the game until Christian Craven slammed a 1-0 fastball to centerfield to score Bryson Estlow with the winning run in the bottom of the 8th inning.
Landon Beardon had a huge 3 run double in the 7th inning to push the game to extra innings. The Orioles took advantage of 14 Ranger walks to stay in the game. Jimmy Maynard also had a big game with one hit, 2 runs scored and two RBI. Craven led the way with 2 hits and 2 RBI. He also pitched in the 6 th inning recording two big outs. Alex Barry and Estlow scored two runs.
Perhaps the best highlight came from the pitching combo of Maynard, Craven and Ryan Kempter who came on in relief of Maynard to get the win. Maynard entered the game in the 2nd inning and worked into the 6th inning before being relieved by Craven and Kempter.
In game two the Orioles rode the pitching of Mason Graves who threw a complete 4 hit game with 9 Rangers punch outs to get a 5-1 win. Graves also added two hits and an RBI. Craven was at it again at the plate with two more hits while lead off hitter Brennen Allman added two hits and Kempter one. Barry had a key sacrifice fly to score a key run in the 5th inning to add on a run.
The Orioles close out Big 8 Conference play with a 9-5 record. They are 15-12 overall and travel to Jackson Lumen Christi on Saturday with a return matchup with the Titans.
Finishing the 24-25 school year with some learning fun!
