It was one last hurrah for Student Life activities to close out the semester. Ag Power instructor Ralph Williams and student Rhett Sanford volunteered to run the hayride for PCC students to see the Christmas lights at Lemon Park for the "Student Life Sleighs Christmas" event.

Students enjoyed a nice soup dinner on campus before heading to the park, and returned to campus to warm back up with Christmas themed treats.

Ralph's Christmas puns and holiday music on the speaker on top of a well-decorated rig made for a very festive and fun event for our students. A big thank you to…

Aaaand we're back! PCC hosted Tech Day on campus at PCC and it was a big success!

“I loved the woosh!”, said one Skyline student.

Melissa Jacobs’ sixth grade science class at Skyline Middle School was thrilled to observe Pratt Community College science instructors scrambling around the stage at their school in their crazy hair, showing the wonders of science just before Halloween.

This woosh, in particular, happened when ethanol vapor combusted inside a large plastic jug and rushed out.

Another favorite moment from the Science Show: elephant toothpaste. Students reacted when the formula quickly shot into the cold Kansas wind.

“WHOAH!!!”
