    The 6th grade chorus will be performing at the Large Group Music Festival on Saturday, March 16th at Goffstown High School. The performance starts at 12:30 PM and is free to attend. Large Group is a statewide festival where the ensemble performs for a panel of recognized adjudicators who will evaluate the performance. In addition to the performance, students will participate in a sight-reading session and clinic at the conclusion of their performance where students will have the opportunity to work with one of the adjudicators for additional feedback. Help show your support by wishing them a great performance!

    NEWS FROM MR. MORRIS’ TECH ED CLASS

    In this project, teams of students explore the engineering design cycle, hydraulics and combining simple machines in order to create a hydraulic arm that can lift an empty soda can up and over a small wall. I don’t provide the students with any plans or prebuilt parts – it’s each teams responsibility to research, blueprint, prototype, test, and improve their designs! This is a very challenging project that combines a lot of different skills that they’ve worked on throughout my class and I wanted to highlight their accomplishments in finishing this term strong!
