CB Smith - Writing Celebration Pictures from Miss Bahnfleth's 2nd Grade Class
Congratulations to our amazing junior high band and to their band teachers Miss Hendrick and Mr. Sheldon on their 1st division finish at the IGSMA Organizational Contest! IGSMA Organizational Contest is a musical event where the junior high band prepares three contrasting band pieces to be performed in front of a panel of judges in hopes of receiving the distinction of a Division 1 rating. In order to achieve this rating, students spend time rehearsing at school and practicing at home during the months of January and February. This performance is a very valuable experience for the junior high band as the standard of performance to receive such distinction requires a great deal of practice, skill, and artistry.
We are proud of your hard work!

Edison Junior High School - Mrs. Link's students worked on drone missions, simulating WWI carrier pigeons!
The Mission Defined -
It is crucial the pigeon delivers your message!
You must navigate through the forest by coding your path!
You must take off at the designated take off zone.
You CAN’T fly higher than 4ft (convert to inches)
There is a barrier in the way! You must fly on the RIGHT side of it! If you fly to the left… you will be too close to enemy lines.
The only safe landing zone is the blue area. If you land anywhere else you will be in water!
