School News

News from school, a former student of mine won first place in a National Art Contest for the International Child Art Foundation. This link will take you to see the drawing it is the 6th from the top. http://www.childartgallery.org/usagalleryfinals/index.htm My student's name is Derreon Woods. Anyway, he and I and our art teacher were all invited to Washington DC in June for this annual art festival. They also asked me to write an article for their magazine called CHILD ART. I submitted my article so hopefully it will be published.

Also, our class and Ms. Kozlen's class, the other 7th grade class, made a video for this morning radio personality named Cornbread. You can see the video on www.wil92.com and click on cornbread's world and then cornflicks. You will need to upload the SLAM video. It is really funny. We made it in response to Cornbread's challenge to the St. Louis SLAM women's football team of which Ms. Kozlen is a member. He challenged the team to a man vs woman rumble on Wednesday 4/25 at CBC high school. For two weeks he has been talking about how he would run over those SLAM women and we made a video to show him what he is up against. Really funny stuff!

On another note, MAP testing is over, YAHOOOOOO! Now only 6 weeks till summer. The countdown has begun.
