• 8^th Grade Social Studies - Mrs. Duncan
• We have studied the Constitution, amendments and our government system. The site icivics.org developed by former Supreme Court Justice Sandra Day O'Connor has been a very great supplement to our textbook.
• We are learning about foreign policy right now which is, of course, also very timely with all that is going on in the world.
• The students presented very well done reports on the presidents and also have played a simulation where they also saw what it is like to run for president.
• It has been a great year and I have enjoyed this class a lot!

• 7-12  Vocal Music - Mrs. Yeaton
• Greetings! This winter has gone by fast and I can hardly believe we are preparing for the POPS Concert and spring concerts! Back in February, several High School vocal music students had a great day at Solo and Ensemble Contest in Aberdeen. We came home with sixteen Superior vocal solo awards and Superior ratings for our boys' group, girls' group, and Chamber Choir. In addition to the Superior awards, there were two duets and four other vocal solos.
• The High School Choir is currently getting ready for Large Group Contest, which is March 26 at Aberdeen Central. We will be performing two songs for three professional judges. We will receive a rating and also spend time with a judge in a critique session.
• The Show Choir's competition season is over and now we are looking forward to the POPS Concert, which is April 13 at 2:00pm and 7:00pm. We had a very successful competition season. We received 1^st Runner-Up at the Center Stage Competition in Aberdeen and 1^st Runner-Up in our division and 4^th Runner-Up overall at the Best of Show Competition in Sioux Falls.
• We hope to see you at our POPS Concert April 7 and at the 6-12 Spring Concert May 6 at 7:00pm!
