| Team 7J had
two wonderful days in the woods at Great Oaks campground. The
students, under the direction of Mr. VonBehren, were able to experience
Outdoor Education on April 24th and 25th. The students were able to
experience archery, tee-shirt making, canoeing, hiking, building a
birdhouse, the ropes (the ropes are awesome!), ice-creme making, and
the initiatives. Mr. Harold Masters roasted a hog for the event (very
tasty!) and Mrs. Cookie Bannon lent her wonderful stories and music
to the evening hours. Smore's by the fire and a rousing game of dice
ended the first evening. Hayrack rides and a little bit of rain the
next day made for a wonderful experience that our 7th graders will
never forget. pic2 pic3 pic4 pic5 |

Mrs. Donaldson's class has been participating in Special Olympics this school year with students in Mrs. Hancock's and Mrs. Gray's classes. On April 27, three students participated in the Special Olympics Spring Games. Three of Broadmoor's very own won some amazing medals. Congratulations, girls! Jenny - 50 meter dash - silver and the tennis ball throw - bronze

| Teachers played
the students in some rousing games of volleyball to end the week
before spring break. Eleven teachers formed a team and took turns
beating the students, one team at a time throughout the entire tournament.
Sorry to say, but even the girls volleyball team didn't stand a chance.
Maybe next year, eh students?! more pics |
| Students on Team 7B finished up their study of the Revolutionary War by playing "Who Wants to Be a Millionaire." The game was prepared by student teachers, Ms. Wagenbach and Ms. Gentile and the students had a blast trying to answer all of the questions correctly. |
| Students in Mrs. Nelson's 8th grade Social Studies class have been studying the Vietnam War. They completed their study of the war by listening to Mr. Gary Nevius, a Vietnam War Veteran. Mr. Nevius was stationed in Vietnam for the entire year of 1969 and shared slides, an audio tape of an actual battle and many fascinating stories with the students. The students (and teachers!) really learned a lot about the war from his first hand account. |
| Team 7B students had lots of fun recently in math class. Under the direction of Ms. Gentile and Mr. Fogal the students created scenes using geometric shapes. The students were required to use at least six different 3-D shapes in their creations. The results are amazing and are on display in the learning center. |
| Mrs. Nevius and Team 8H participated in a
Poetry Slam at Pekin High School. The students had to try out,
practice their poems, and then took a field trip to Mrs. Renner and
Mrs. Crosby's Global Literacy class. participants more pics |
