Valiant voices is an all men singing group made up of all three grade levels. At the beginning of the year, Mrs. Roy broke us up into groups, baritones and tenors. They began the year singing Wellerman, by Nathan. After that success they moved on to Sweet Caroline, by Neil Diamond and the classic Up on the Housetop. Then the group went to the senior center to entertain the residents with those songs. They also got to play Bingo!
In 2024, they learned Seize the Day from Newsies for the Disney concert in March.
For the end of the year, they are singing, “Your Welcome” from Moana and Barbara Ann by the Beach Boys. Both songs have dances and are sung in harmonies. Both songs are funny and the harmonies go great together as tenors and baritones. In Your Welcome they act and move like Maui. They will perform both of these songs at the concert on May, 7, 2024 These songs were chosen as a tribute to Mr. Bishop because he was fun, loving and joyful.
In science fair club students participate in science fairs to investigate the science topics that interest them. Students gain an insight into the problems and methods of thinking scientifically and work with science instructors to draw conclusions about their research. Completed projects are judged and displayed in late spring. This club is open to seventh and eighth graders. The sponsor of this club is Dr Sitkie. I have emailed Dr Sitkie for a small Q and A about the science fair club.
Q When does the club start?
A The Science Fair Club starts in October and goes until January. If students advance past the District 300 science fair they will move on to the Regional Science Fair at a University in Northern Illinois in March. If they advance beyond the regional fair they will attend the State of Illinois State Science Fair in May at Southern Illinois University.
Q Do kids like this club?
A Usually, we start with 20 to 30 students at the beginning. Once the students realize the amount of work involved with the science fair project the numbers drop significantly. We usually end up with 2-3 projects. Only the die-hard stick it out until the District 300 science fair.
Q What are some winning projects students made?
A Some winning projects are Mohammad Lakanis project and Sathvik Pais project.
