7th & 8th Grade Science Fair

The 7th and 8th Grade Science Fair is going to be held on March 2nd and March 3rd, so mark your calendars! I have interviewed Ms. Tait, the 7th and 8th Grade Dean, about details about the fair. I have been informed that Masterman will be participating in the George Washington Carver Science Fair. Also, the judges include, “College professors, scientists, and other professional personnel”, as directly stated from Ms. Tait. The panel of judges will be looking for “...students to follow the scientific method including performing several trials, accurate research, application to community at large, and following proper protocol.”, also stated by Ms. Tait. There is to be no theme of the fair, only topics that interest the students. If you are a 7th or 8th grader and are interested in being apart of the science fair, then see Ms. Tait in room 210 during your advisory, lunch, or after school. I owe my thanks to Ms. Tait for her answers to my questions.

Masterman Winter Concert 2014

If you were not in attendance at the Winter Concert, then you really missed out. The design on the front of the pamphlet was a dragon made of snowflakes, a very intricate design made by 12-1’s very own Katerina Bezhani. The High School acts included High School Jazz Band, Sweet Sixteen(A Cappella Group), High School Orchestra, Chamber Choir, and the High School Choir. The Middle School acts included Middle School Jazz band, Middle School Band, Middle School Choir, and the Middle School String Orchestra. As a member of the Middle School Choir, the whole concert was fun to watch and perform in. Sadly though, that was the last time that Mr. Andrew Lawson(Dr. Shapiro’s Student Teacher) would be assisting with the Middle School Choir.

The other interesting aspect of the Concert, was the Art Display hosted by Ms. Lucy Russo. The artwork included the 7th grade Amate Bark Paintings, Mexican Masks, Animals, and High School Paintings. The artwork was astounding, and really showed of the color coordination of students’ minds. The work was hung up by Ms. Russo and some students who generously helped her make the collage. Congratulations to all of the students who performed in the Winter Concert, and to those whose artwork was displayed in the main hallway.
