From Mrs. Goonan's 8th Grade English: Students were given a conflict resolution topic, 60 seconds to prepare a solution, and 20 seconds to present to judges who then determined the best way to handle the problem. Excellent participation and results!
From Mrs. Goonan's 7th Grade English:
Students are working on reinforcing cause and effect writing strategies using dominoes as hands-on visual aids.
On Saturday, January 22, several of our Ayersville Band students participated in the OMEA Solo and Ensemble Contest held at Bryan High School. Throughout the day students performed solos and small groups for judges in difficulty Classes A, B, and C (A being the hardest, C the easiest). Many of the students have been working hard since late November to prepare for Contest and their hard work paid off with the following ratings:
Class A, Braeden Scheirer;
Blass B, Tori Klinger;
Class C, Cheyenne Willms, Xander Miles;
Excellent II;
Class B, Lucas Dennie, Dawn Hibbard, Katie White;
Class C, Katherine Ricica, Paige Hagerman, Trumpet Trio (Cheyenne Willms, Sadie Sutton, Paige Hagerman).
