The 4th graders were learning the scientific method today. They conducted a lab to see how many drops of water they could fit on the top of a penny. They attempted with a plain penny and a soapy penny. Which do you think could hold more? Ask a 4th grader!
Joslynn from Season 24 of "The Voice" was able to come talk to the Avon High School Choir today. She shared interesting stories about her start with music, her audition process with "The Voice", fun stories about picking out her wardrobe for the show, her bond with judge Gwen Stefani, and other fascinating facts. What I made sure she pointed out and discussed was the size of her town. When attending public school her class size was around 20 kids and the population of her hometown is very similar to Avon's. That sparked the conversation about no matter the size of town you come from, you can do BIG things! She then performed her new song she wrote "Sand Castles". Just gorgeous. Afterwards, the Avon choir performed their Homecoming song for her and her mom. They had nothing but outstanding things to say about our sound for our small town. This was a great opportunity for our students, and I hope they enjoyed meeting this up and coming sweetheart of a singer!
It's Gameday Pirate Nation!
