Last weekend some of our band students participated in the first ever Great River Conference JH All Conference Honor Band! Students from 9 schools in our conference were nominated to participate in two different honor bands, Pine City brought 19 amazing 6-9th grade students. They got to rehearse all day with amazing clinicians - Milaca HS band director Andy Nelson, and Princeton band director James Baxter. The concert at the end of the day was full of energy, wonderful musicianship, and support from so many friends and families.
5th graders have been enjoying their science unit focused on Destination Mars! In this particular lesson students were creating boxes for shipping back rock, water, and soil samples to Earth. They found the volume of individual boxes and then designed a container to fit all three inside in the most space efficient way. We love hands-on learning!
