What a day at Coffeyville Community College Draw Off Day! Ms. Vincent took our high school artists to explore the college campus and art department, competed in drawing challenges, received feedback from art professor Michael DeRosa, and—most importantly—had the chance to grow as artists! 🥇 1ST PLACE! Our Parsons team took the top spot in the chalk art competition with their Starry Night-inspired Impressionism landscape featuring the sun! 🌟 They brought home CCC gear AND a canvas for their next masterpiece! 🥉 3RD PLACE! Another Parsons team earned 3rd Place with their colorful, out-of-this-world outer space chalk drawing! 🚀🌌 Our charcoal still life artists may not have placed, but they gained valuable experience, received real-time critiques, and learned how to push their work further. I couldn’t be more proud of these students! They created, competed, collaborated, learned, and represented Parsons Art with pride! Keep creating, Vikings! 🎨💙🏆

Last Thursday, five representatives from Deep Fission—including the lead reactor core engineer responsible for the underground installation—visited our building. During the presentation, they showcased a 1/6th-scale 3D-printed model of the nuclear reactor, which is designed to be situated a mile beneath the surface. We also explored the potential integration of robotics to handle future reactor inspections.
