January 26, 2017 |
Mr. Knaggs scheduled snow
sculpting was cancelled on account of snow days
and finals, local artist Lee Harris
was on call to help our young sculptors bring
their ideas to life in the third dimension.
Reschedule is in the works, pending snowfall.
Mr. Knaggs also mentioned that there is not
enough space in this news site to praise the
steps the district and us have taken in the past
six months towards building relationships and
working together for the betterment of BCSD 101.
Big thanks go out to all of our members for
continuing to give themselves to the youth of
the 9B, as well as Mr. Pflueger
his staff, and admin team for fostering care and
making this school district the best that it can
be.
Mr. Nix said that the BFHS
Robotics team is in the third week of their six
week build season. Students have determined
their strategy for this year’s game called "Steamworks,"
designed, prototyped and tested manipulators and
have begun assembling their competition robot.
The team's media wing has been hard at work
applying for grants, writing articles, and
updating social media, while the programming
team is successfully implementing vision
tracking and gyroscopic controls coding. Look
for "Alpha+ 2130" on Facebook, Instagram, and
YouTube for daily updates.
Ms. Ireland is very proud of
the improvement her sophomores have made this
year.
Mr. Omodt let us know that
Mary Fioravanti placed fourth
in the Idaho State VFW Voice of Democracy essay
contest. She traveled south to Boise with her
dad to participate in the awards ceremony.
Mr. Nix stated that American Government and AP
Government students are showing up to class
engaged and curious about what is going on in
our democratic republic.
Ms. Garner was heard saying
that Andrew Clarkson finished
his bench and will be taking it home.
We saw Mrs. Smith talking to
four students who are applying for their State
FFA Degree.
Mrs. Nix mentioned The Writer's Block literary
magazine is gearing up for its second edition in
a few weeks and will feature not only student
writing, but also several amazing pieces from
our advanced art students.
We heard that Mr. Depriest and
the auto shop students were able to revive a
1948 Willy’s Jeep that had not been running for
25 years by going through the starting,
charging, ignition, lubrication and cooling
systems.
We have seen the BFHS Band working hard to raise
funds for their trip to Edmonton and is looking
forward to the Large Group Festival in Coeur
d'Alene and solo and ensemble at Post Falls High
School. |
