Academic Enrichment Students Perform Play 

      War Between the States, an original play, was presented on Thursday, January 21st at Central School. The play was written and performed by the fifth grade language arts students from the Academic Enrichment Program of the Rochelle Elementary School District. The play follows five young Union soldiers left behind on a Civil War battlefield in Tennessee. They evade marauders, rescue a friend, get captured by Confederates and escape Libby Prison in Virginia.

      Students participating in the play were Mahalia Freier, Aimee Luna and Julia Frye from Central School; Hunter Haggestad and Dylan Papke from May School; Jacob Helfrick and Ashley Benge from Lincoln; and Paige Myroth, Alec Tilton, Danny Redington, Lexy LeMar and Caylee Turner from Tilton School.

      Central School 4th and 5th graders enjoyed viewing the dress rehearsal on Thursday morning. Parents, siblings, principals, teachers, grandparents, and friends attended the evening performance.  The class worked hard researching the Civil War, writing the play and rehearsing.  It was rewarding to see it all come together with a great performance.

 

Tilton School 100th Day
Ms. Simms' third graders had fun celebrating the 100th day of school. They wrote a book about the 100 things they would like to have, put together 100-piece puzzles, predicted which number would appear most often when they rolled dice 100 times, predicted if heads or tails would appear most often when they flipped a coin 100 times, played a board game to reach 100 points, wrote 100 words they knew how to spell, learned how to write and spell the number 100 in 5 different languages, and read books about the number 100. Twenty-five faces were smiling on the 100th day of school!

Students in Mrs. Morrissey's 3rd grade class enjoyed many fun activities on the 100th day of school.
