Newfound Memorial Middle School faculty members Brad Naugler and Eve Bagley showed off some of the reflective messages students wrote on dodecahedrons Bagley’s Wellness class created after they completed the Lion Quest program with the staff of CADY (Communities for Alcohol- and Drug-Free Youth).
At the recent Allied Arts Night at Newfound Memorial Middle School, faculty members Brad Naughler and Eve Bagley displayed some of the insightful and colorful dodecahedrons students made after attending sessions with members from Communities for Alcohol- and Drug-Free Youth (CADY).
Stevens, band director Sarah Farver-Staub and PSU Intern Alex Terry, then ended the night with more than an hour of great music. From the Pirate Story, Butterflies, and Siyahamba songs from the sixth grade choir; Ban- dyrowe, Ocean and Stars, and Chili Caliente from the 7th and 8th-grade choir; to Madrigal Remix and I Dare You from the Select Choir, the audience was impressed by their talents.
Adding to the evening were even more tunes from the 6th Grade Band (Thunderbolt Peak, Tikal, and Fire Rock), the Jazz Band (Work Song and Rock Hero), and the combined 7th-8th Grade Band (Shepherd’s Hey, Chant, and Tribal Dance, and The Bottom Line).
Soloists for the evening were Tessa Overlock for the Select Choir and Ben Gilbert, Jona- than Weeks, Jewlee Doucette, and Chase Cazeault for the Jazz Band.
Overall more than 90 students took part in the concert this year. “We’ve got some awesome kids here at the middle school,” Ulrich said with pride as the eve-
ning came to a close.
of a well-known song. Others used sounds of everyday life, and through Soundtrap, they re- corded and mixed software that invited listeners to close their eyes and take in sounds of the beach, the forest, and even a racetrack.
Computer Enrichment in- structor Erin Edwards offered a unique opportunity to her grades 6-8 students this year who got to act on a variety of skill levels as Web Masters for the faculty.
“They were challenged to create websites for their teachers, then email them to see what they thought and what else they would
like to see on their websites,” Ed- wards said. “Through that, the students got to improve their skills in not only creating websites but their email skills, too. The main goal of the class, though, is to have them try out online tools (such as Google Suite) and then go back and use them in other classes.” Seventh grade student Isaac Barnard of Hebron and his partner Leo Conway had Social Studies teacher Jason Jenkins as their subject.
“Itwasalotoffuntodothis, but there were a lot of challenges along the way,” Barnard said.
Wellness Teacher Eve Bagley also had her students meet with representatives of CADY (Com- munities for Alcohol- and Drug- Free Youth) earlier this year. After several sessions of discussion and learning, the students were then asked to create dodecahedron paper balls (a complicated fig- ure made up of 12 faces), which contained words on each of the 12 panels expressing what they learned about living their best life and the goals they then set
for their future.
“The kids really enjoyed mak-
ing them. They’re a lot trickier than they look,” Bagley said, “but now they have a 3-D tangible ob- ject to remind them what they learned.”
After viewing the visual arts, parents then assembled in the gym for a concert from the sixth, seventh, and eighth-grade bands and choirs.
