The students whose artwork represents our school include: Daphne McDermott, Logan Sudol, Ariana Winawer-Stein, Kyra Tarleton, Dillon Moss, Annie Hauze, Levi Halley, Delia Morgan, Kamryn Yuengling, Kiara Nestler
This is a high school invitational art show which represents many public and private high schools in our area. The art faculty nominate works by students who show exceptional promise in a variety of creative disciplines. The student work includes seven categories: Ceramics, Drawing, Multiple discipline, Painting, Photography, Sculpture and Wearable art. The awards will be chosen by artist Matt Necker.
The Awards Ceremony and Opening Reception is Friday Jan 20th, 5-7 p.m, and the show will be open until February 10th. Both the show and the ceremony are open to the public—the artwork tends to be AWESOME!

Middle School Book Club reads Katherine Arden's Small Spaces
Tuesday was the first meeting of the Middle School Book Club! We are reading Katherine Arden's Small Spaces in preparation for her upcoming visit to our school. The publisher's note describes the book as "...a deliciously creepy and hair-raising adventure."
Prior to writing the Small Spaces quartet for middle-grade readers, Arden wrote The Bear and the Nightingale for adults which was on The New York Times bestseller list. Publishers Weekly described it as "stunning" and Booklist called it "utterly bewitching." We have Arden's debut novel in our library along with the second book in the Winternight Trilogy titled The Girl in the Tower.
The Middle School Book Club meets on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 12:00-12:30 pm and Katerine Arden will be visiting later this month or in early February. The Young Adult Diverse Books Book Club will be meeting on January 24 at 11:00 am to discuss Black Birds in the Sky and the Faculty/Staff Book Club will be meeting on January 30 at 3:15 pm to discuss Solito: A Memoir.
If you are interested in joining any of these book clubs, please stop by the library. If you have overdue books, please return them and pick out some new titles for your winter reads.
Trigonometry students work hard on Unit Circle Project
Trigonometry students are working hard on a unit circle project. Students selected a teacher or an administrator to design and create a unit circle.
Students had to come up with interview questions and then interview their adult about the design, materials, and special considerations for their unit circle. Then students went to the Innovation Lab and designed and created their adults' unit circle.
When their unit circle is done, students will create a rubric and survey to get feedback on the whole process of this project. The goal is for students to practice interviewing others, designing and creating something that someone else gives the details about, creating a rubric and survey that will provide them with feedback on their process and product, and finally, using feedback to help them improve all of these skills.

Shout out to bus driver Terry!
Shout out to bus driver Terry! FFA students made her day, her week, her year when they purchased her a 'World's Best Bus Driver Ever' mug at the Tunbridge Fair and joined her in a country music singalong on the way home. It renewed her energy for bus driving so much this year that Terry enlarged this photograph and printed it on canvas so the students could sign it and she could hang it in a new home she is building. Thank you for all that you do, Terry!
