February, 2003
Brittany West, Taylor Oedewaldt, Bill Murphy, and Kathleen Kennedy represented Broadmoor at the Young Author's night held at Washington School. The students spent many hours writing and illustrating their wonderful stories. They should feel very proud of the work they accomplished.
On February 22, the Broadmoor Chess Club participated in the county chess tournament. Broadmoor's three top finishers were Charlie Eyer, Robbie Lloyd, and Khrissy McMillan. Chess club meets every Tuesday and Thursday night with more possibilities of tournaments this spring. The club is under the direction of Mr. Turner.
Congratulations to Aubry and Darren for representing Broadmoor in the District 108 Spelling Bee. Aubry is an 8th grader and was the district runner-up. You both made Broadmoor proud!
Team 7B was happy to have Mr. John Stump talk with them about the legal system. Mr. Stump is an attorney and spoke with the students about their Mock Trial unit that they are doing in Social Studies. The students prepared questions and were very interested in the process of actually taking a case to trial. Team 7B is currently reading a book called, "Tituba" in Language Arts classes and then working on the Mock Trial in Social Studies. The unit is under the direction of student teachers, Ms. Wagenbach and Ms. Gentile.
Mrs. Nelson divided her 8th Grade Social Studies class into three groups and did stations on the topic of WWII. Mr. Kerley worked with the students on a vocabulary quiz, Mr. Turner worked with his group on reading about WWII, and Mrs. Nelson showcased artifacts from both WWI and WWII that belonged to her grandfather. The kids had a great time and really learned a lot about the war.
