Carly learned both parts for one of our chorus songs, We Can Dream, (part 1 and part 2) and even recorded the intro on piano. She recorded multiple tracks using Soundtrap, all by herself! Beautiful singing, Carly, those harmonies are amazing! The lyrics are also so inspiring for these times. I may have shed a tear!

Ava is an artist in the making. She's been figuring out, making up, and learning harmonies to some pop songs, including one Meistersingers was going to sing for mini-THON. These two videos just scratch the surface of what she has been working on at home, musically!

Bryce also was able to learn 3 part harmonies and made a video using the Acapella app for one of our chorus songs, "Changes." Bryce recently joined chorus and is way ahead of the game if he is singing harmonies like this by himself!!

Amariah got super creative with parody writing, and let her creative spirit fly with this awesome song to the tune of "Be our Guest." She wrote the lyrics, came up with props, a costume and staging for her video! Wow!

Hi, Artists! I made this Lego set this morning for art. Our family loves purchasing Lego sets including cars, Lego Architecture, and many other sets for keeping busy during quarantine. I also love cameras and photography, so I did a mini photoshoot for you guys with my Canon! I love being creative so for this shot I decided to have one of the girls climbing the tree, but having the focus on the girl on the ground! Can you spot the squirrel in the tree?

I drew famous soccer player Lionel Andrés Messi.

I made this out of things from natural things around my house.

Mrs. Barr’s 7th grade Technology Education learners were busy with some hands-on Engineering projects at the conclusion of Marking Period 3. Bridge building, robotic arms, and catapults helped them understand the Engineering Design Process using materials they could easily find around the house. Well Done 7th graders!!

Before we even met, one adult and even some learners told me that he had a skill set that he wanted to use in my classroom. It was apparent when he introduced himself that he wanted to show me his abilities. When we finally began the sewing unit, he quickly completed his project, eager to “help” by taking a closer look at the sewing machines that had “repair signs” on them. Silas was able to fix a large number of the machines with ease. He was awarded multiple baron bucks as a thank you. Silus is a difference maker, always respectful, responsible, and his repairs kept us all safe in the sewing lab! I am proud to share this true account of a learner going above and beyond and sharing it with others! ~Ms. Henry

For Phys Ed class, Syrus Lubeskie created an AWESOME Fitness Obstacle Course outside. Not only did he complete the course, he encouraged his mom and brother to do so as well! Great job Sy staying active and getting outdoors.
