PICTURES - repeated from the snow day before break. 7th & 8th GRADE BASKETBALL TEAMS VS. STAFF REPORT FEBRUARY 16TH, 2022 After Dismissal on Wednesday afternoon our older students took on a mixed team of teachers and staff members. The girls played from 2:00 to 2:30 and the boys played from 2:30 to 3:00. There were frequent substitutions on the student and staff sides so that the pace of the games could be kept intense. Both the students and staff put a lot of heart into the friendly competition. To boost the experience to another level, many staff and few students dusted off their cheerleading skills and urged the players to perform at their best. The cheerleaders also put on a great half-time performance. In addition, a band made up of teachers and students played vigorously at key points during the game. Quite a few teachers came to spectate and a huge amount of fun was had by all that were present. Link to 67 pictures of the girls’ game Link to 67 pictures of the boys’ game Link to 14 pictures of the cheerleaders and spectators.

TROUT UPDATE - LOCATION TEAM USA - ROULEAU The trout have reached what is called swim up stage. This means that you used up their yolk sac and are now looking for food. To do that they “swim up” to the surface. I took the video from far away because they swim back down to protect themselves when they experience my shadow from over head. They are all quite active now and swimming around quite a bit. They are each about 3/4 of an inch long and they are starting to show their stripes on their sides. Link to 13 Second Video.

STOP BY THE LIBRARY TO EXPLORE THE FOLLOWING BOOKS.  Get to know celebrated Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg—in the first picture book about her life—as she proves that disagreeing does not make you disagreeable! Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg has spent a lifetime disagreeing: disagreeing with inequality, arguing against unfair treatment, and standing up for what’s right for people everywhere. This biographical picture book about the Notorious RBG, tells the justice’s story through the lens of her many famous dissents, or disagreements.  From the New York Times, bestselling author of I Dissent comes a young adult biographical graphic novel about celebrated Supreme Court justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg. Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg is a modern feminist icon—a leader in the fight for equal treatment of girls and women in society and the workplace. She blazed trails to the peaks of the male-centric worlds of education and law, where women had rarely risen before. Ruth Bader Ginsburg has often said that true and lasting change in society and law is accomplished slowly, one step at a time. This is how she has evolved, too. Step by step, the shy little girl became a child who questioned unfairness, who became a student who persisted despite obstacles, who became an advocate who resisted injustice, who became a judge who revered the rule of law, who became…RBG.  The author of Mesmerized delivers another fascinating glimpse into history, this time the story of two brave suffragists on a trek across America to spread the word: Votes for Women! In April 1916, Nell Richardson and Alice Burke set out from New York City in a little yellow car, embarking on a bumpy, muddy, unmapped journey ten thousand miles long. They took with them a teeny typewriter, a tiny sewing machine, a wee black kitten, and a message for Americans all across the country: Votes for Women! The women’s suffrage movement was in full swing, and Nell and Alice would not let anything keep them from spreading the word about equal voting rights for women. Braving blizzards, deserts, and naysayers—not to mention a whole lot of tires stuck in the mud—the two courageous friends made their way through the cities and towns of America to further their cause. |
