March Media Madness
(or is it Mania?)
Mark Your Calendars for June 9
I am sure we will be hearing more about it, and it is free to attend. Our conference will be set up somewhat differently than most of the other DOE conferences, in that attendees will experience blended learning in different ways.
Academic Super Bowl
The big competition is Saturday, April 30 at Zionsville West Middle School. Students can be in other activities (like sports, STEM, art club, etc), but they must be available that day. The Academic Super Bowl is run just like the Math and Spell Bowls.
If you have a student who you think would be interested or excels in social studies, science, math, or ELA or who you think would enjoy this type of activity, please let me know.
National Junior Honor Society (Grades 7-8)
All staff are welcome to attend; If you would be interested in assisting with the reception following the brief ceremony, please let me know. It is basically a cake/punch/mixed nuts kind of thing.
The students themselves help determine what service projects we will undertake. If you have suggestions of worthy causes, please let me know. Our next project will be a book drive for elementary students. We plan to deliver them in person sometime in April or May. We will instruct students who want to contribute to bring books directly to the media center. If you have any books appropriate for grades K-4, new or gently used, we would be glad to donate them for you.

March Book Madness
Through Friday, students can vote to help determine the seedings for the brackets, and voting starts next week. I will once again be posting the brackets on the media center windows.
You can see all of the titles, and the map of participants (yes, we're underneath all of that) on the March Book Madness Weebly.
