Congratulations, Brandon & William Foster!
Brandon and William Foster recently competed in the Indiana Federation Music Competition in the advanced piano solo level. In the competition, they had to play and memorize two pieces, one of which had to be from a foreign composer. Both boys received a superior or above rating in the advanced level division and were invited to compete in the Honors Recital on April 30. In the Evansville District, only three high school and six middle school students were selected for the honors recital.

| The seventh grade class has been reading "Anthem" by Ayn Rand. In the book, an overseeing council assigns jobs/careers to the characters called Life Mandates. The characters do not have a choice and are required to fulfill their duties without question. As an experiential education activity, students were divided into Life Mandates throughout the school. |
