Question: What is the only metal that's not solid at room temperature?
Answer: Mercury.
Fun Facts: Mercury has a very high surface tension, so it forms rounded beads of liquid. It is now known to be highly toxic but was used in makeup for much of history.

For this week’s Kindness Challenge: Let’s think about PERSONAL RESPONSIBILITY. Improving our character is a matter of choosing to change and making the effort. We don't change and become wiser, kinder, more patient or more self-disciplined automatically. We do so by deliberately working at being that kind of person.
A reminder that gym clothes must be school appropriate.
