Benton's first and second graders took a step this afternoon in the musical direction, taking part in the Intro To Music program. With an audience of parents and staff members, the students did a roughly 30-minute program under the direction of music instructor Tori Shearer. On top of singing a host of songs, the students incorporated hand movements and cues from Shearer into their production. They even had an awards session, giving credit to some of the story characters from their in-class assignments.
Our LifeSkills students were on the road, stopping by The Park at Grace Community Church!
No need to elaborate, the kids had a blast at the giant indoor playground!!!
Huge shoutout to our Fairfield music director, Mykayla Roskos-Neilson, who was recognized for the ISSMA Total Department All-Music Award!
Roskos-Neilson was given the award at the Indiana Statehouse, recognizing Fairfield's overall excellence at all levels including marching band, concert, show choir and jazz.
The exclusive award is given to less than two dozen scholastic music departments from around the state. Congrats to Roskos-Neilson and her entire music department for its overall success!
Some of you might be old enough to know what this is. For those who don't, Happy Leap Day!

Several other regional art educators and their students have work on display as well.

The completion of the new Fairfield Clinic is starting to appear on the horizon, and with that, Dennis Schooley took both of his high school Intro to Construction classes to the clinic site. Schooley used the opportunity to illustrate real life experiences of what a house would look like before the drywall covered all the mechanicals/insulation, along with the layout of where wiring and installations are placed.
The clinic site is now where the old Fairfield Food Pantry and Central Office used to be, situated on the corner of CR 31 and US 33 across from Fairfield Jr/Sr High School.

“I don’t think I’ve fully taken any of this in yet. I don’t understand it.” Lee Rodman used that as part of the feeling to describe being named one of two Gold Key Portfolio winners from Fairfield in what was an historic year for the art department among this year's Scholastic Art and Writing awards.
See how Rodman and some of her classmates made heads and tails of the awards run, and what's to come, below:
