During some of their Wednesday virtual learning days, the teachers and students complete the hands-on activities together, over Zoom. (Submitted photos)

Second graders in Mrs. Swatek’s class show off the geo domes they created. Peggy Schilling, who handles school-based and summer youth development programming for Clayton County Extension, finds, plans and prepares the activities. They are often related to second grade science and math standards.

For one activity, students sorted seeds into fliers, rollers and hitchhikers. Teachers said the projects have been a hit.

MFL MarMac’s second grade teachers have partnered with Clayton County’s ISU Extension and Outreach Office to offer hands-on, educational activities for students on the district’s Wednesday virtual learning days.

“Over the summer, I was doing lesson to go bags,” said Peggy Schilling, who handles school-based and summer youth development programming for Clayton County Extension. “I was looking at MFL MarMac’s school schedule and saw they were not going on Wednesdays. I’ve worked with [teacher] Katie Kregel, who checks out our STEM Lit-Go kits every year, and asked if there were some little activities they wanted to try.”

Central senior earns prestigious All-State Choir honor

Submitted by admin on Tue, 12/08/2020 - 12:58

Central senior Brenna Buckman has been selected as a member of the 2020 All-State Chorus, the highest individual honor available to Iowa high school vocal musicians.

By Willis Patenaude, Times-Register

When she was selected as a member of the 2020 All-State Chorus, Brenna Buckman was “so beyond excited!” The Central senior, having achieved the highest individual honor available to Iowa high school vocal musicians, understood the gravity of the accolade and felt the pride that comes with it. Pride in the prestigious nature of what occurred, and the exclusivity of the honor bestowed upon her, as being selected is no easy feat. 

In fact, it’s a rarity for Central and 1A schools in general, as only 6 to 7 percent of those selected were from 1A schools, and Buckman was the only student who made the cut from 1A schools in northeast Iowa. She is Central’s first selection since 2012.
