| Mrs. Roiger's 4th hour math students on Team 8H are making bridges for the American Society of Civil Engineers contest in Peoria on February 17th. Students are working in teams of 4 to build a bridge out of index cards using only glue or tape to hold them together. The bridges are judged on esthetics, meeting specifications, load held/weight of bridge ratio, and a report. The top two groups from the class will go on to the contest in Peoria. The group in the photo were testing the strength of individual members from which they hope to build their bridge. |
| Students on Team 7J in Mrs. Chenoweth's math class have been working on a scale model project. Students are creating scale drawings of the classroom. Students are measuring the classroom and various furniture pieces, converting their measurements to scale using proportions, and then drawing a scale model of the room. Look for these wonderful projects on display during conferences at the end of February. |

| Student Council sponsored a blood drive on Tuesday, January 22nd. Students escorted donors from the blood donor area to the canteen, gave donors a snack, and set up and took down donor stations. Out of 41 donors, 33 pints of blood were donated. Thank you to the donors and students for making the blood drive such a success! |

Social Studies students have been working on a World War I project
in Ms. Braley's room. Each group was assigned a country and then the
students read primary sources regarding the background of their
country. Each group then met in Brussels, Belgium at a peace
conference to try and come to a compromise and prevent WWI from
happening. Were they successful? Tune in later to find out! pics more pics |
| Carl Cannon talked with Broadmoor students on Friday, January 18th. He spoke with them about making good choices and the "unguarded moment." Mr. Cannon has spoken at Broadmoor before and as always, he left the students and the staff speechless. Thanks, Carl for an awesome assembly! |
| Broadmoor

night and Saturday morning, respectively. Broadmoor lost both games
to the Chicago suburb school, but had a great time playing and mixing
with the other team. All teams enjoyed a pizza party at Edison following
the Saturday morning game. more pics |
| Mrs.
Nevius' Language Arts classes have been working on prepositions. They just finished an assignment in which they had to first draw a winter or Christmas
picture, then they had to write an original poem. The poem had to be created so that each line started with a preposition. The classes did a great job drawing and
creating poetry. Take a look! more poetry |
