Last week, high school senior, June Wofford, attended the 26th annual Students Inside Albany (SIA) conference.
June, selected by the League of Women Voters to represent Tompkins County, was one of only two students selected from the area for this prestigious program. She traveled to Albany for an intensive four-day experience designed to increase awareness of the rights and responsibilities of citizens in a representative government.

Here, the 5th grade chorus is playing a Ghanaian passing game called Obwisana, which is sung in Akan. The translation is: "Grandmother, the rock hit my hand, it hurt.”
This activity promotes ensemble skills, especially with steady beat and coordination.
This is just the first of several similar games they will learn before the year winds up!

On Thursday, our 6th graders visited the Johnson Art Museum for a lesson on modern paintings and were then able to take a short tour around Cornell. Later in the day, they teamed up with their elementary-level reading buddies to share stories. Thank you, teachers, for working to create these experiences for our students. Learning outside of the classroom is fun!
Last week our fifth graders worked incredibly hard illustrating original haiku poetry for the Steam Showcase. We hope to see you there:
