Welcome to Forest Lake Education Center

It is a joy to greet you as the incoming Principal of Forest Lake Education Center. My family and I are grateful to already be part of this community—two of our children attend FLEC, and we have experienced its warmth and strong sense of belonging.
 
Over the past 25 years, I have served in Adventist education as a teacher, chaplain, principal, and, most recently, Associate Superintendent. Each role has strengthened my commitment to partner with families to nurture students who love Jesus, love learning, and are prepared for a life in service to Him.
 
Whether returning or exploring FLEC for the first time, I invite you to visit, tour, and come say hi. Let’s go through this journey together.
 
Stephen Herr,
Principal

In Mrs. Taylor's Science Lab, students spent time exploring the incredible properties of water. They discovered how it can adapt to be a solid, liquid, or gas, and grasped the profound impact it has on our world. Without water, life as we know it wouldn't be possible. Once they made their predictions, students put their theories to the test, pushing the boundaries of what's possible with hands-on experiments! 💡 ...

Taking Science to New Heights!

Our 8th grade scientists took learning out of the textbook and into action with our Paper Clip Airplane Challenge!

Students were challenged to investigate how the number of paper clips attached to a paper airplane could affect how far it would fly. As they tested, measured, and recorded their results, students learned to identify the independent variable—what we change—and the dependent variable—what we measure.

But this wasn’t just about seeing whose airplane could fly the farthest! Students were practicing the skills real scientists use: asking questions, making predictions, conducting fair tests, collecting data, looking for patterns, and using evidence to support their conclusions.

To wrap up the investigation, students used the CER (Claim, Evidence, Reasoning) framework to explain what they discovered and defend their conclusions using their experimental data.

It was a fun, hands-on way for our 8th graders to discover that science is more than memorizing facts—it is about being curious, testing ideas, learning from the results, and asking, “What happens if…?”

*Big thanks to Mrs. Singh for sharing the fun hands-on learning in her middle school science classroom!
