September’s Jefferson Award winner, Nick Giroux-Doehring, has volunteered for a total of 560 hours at Camp Pathfinder, a summer camp that helps boys develop independence, character, values, abilities, and friendships for life. He went through a special training program with a focus on professional level youth leadership in a wilderness setting. As one of a dozen annual volunteers, he participated actively in camp counseling and supervision of campers, as well as serving as a junior guide during wilderness canoe trips. He served as a great leader whose friendship was valued by many campers. Congratulations to September’s Jefferson Award Winner, Nick Giroux-Doehring.
Since October, members of the musical theatre group Cabaret have worked together during rehearsals to learn songs, dances, and monologues in preparation for the show “Cabaret ‘12”, which took place November 2nd and 4thin the 1919 auditorium. Choreographed by Rachel Marlowe, the show was a collection of short monologues written by each of the girls, along with larger group song and dance numbers including “Cell Block Tango” from Chicagoand “You Can’t Stop the Beat” from Hairspray. Mrs. Tjersland directed the show and Mrs. Martin worked as the chorus instructor.
Senior Human Anatomy students were assigned a project that required them to write a children’s story based on an organ system that they would present to the second grade. The stories were to be informative and creative– illustrated and written on a second grade level. Each senior student read his story to the second graders and answered questions about the books. Will Mette’s “Hammy the Hamburger” based on the digestive system, Kelsey Gwynne’s “Oliver the Liver”, and Kendal Robino’s “Sally the Stomach” were big hits. Other titles included “Stephen the Skeleton”, “Gully the Gall Bladder”, “Brian the Brain”, “Your Heart” and “The Lungs”. The second graders were a great audience and genuinely complimented the seniors on their stories. The books will be laminated and donated to the classrooms for the second grade to read.
