On Wednesday, March 2, 2016, Mrs. Lafuente and her class joined 117 schools to create the world’s largest periodic table at Gustafson Stadium. The periodic table is said to be more than 22,000 square feet! We are very proud of their effort to reach this accomplishment in collaboration with schools throughout San Antonio.
Way to go Knights!
