Mr. Van Overmeer's 6th Grade Stem Challenge.
Once a month in math the sixth graders work as partners to do a STEAM Challenge (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, Mathematics). These challenges encourage them to think critically to create their own solution to a problem. They are designed to incorporate real world design elements with hands-on learning.
The challenge this month was to build a free standing bridge using only six strips of construction paper and a glue stick. Students had thirty minutes to plan and complete the task before testing their build. For the test students added AA batteries until the bridge failed or reached capacity. The winning bridges held 40 AA batteries which is over two pounds!

The essay contest was sponsored by Iowa County Clean Local Alliance, a project of the Driftless Area Land Conservancy and The Dodgeville Chronicle.

Meagan C. received $250 for first place, Lillian W. $125 for second place, and Rylee S. $75 for third place. Great job to all who participated!

Maddie R.'s leadership and hard work will be hard to replace next year! Apart from her work painting the set, Maddie helped organize and prepare all the costumes in the days leading up to our dress rehearsal. During the show, Maddie ran our sound system, which included managing 9 microphones and 3 instruments in the pit orchestra. It was a new challenge and she handled it well! Congratulations, Maddie!
Audrey R. was a crucial part of our stage crew this year. She provided creative ideas and strong leadership in painting our set this year. She also helped organize the costumes for the show as part of our costume team. Each cast member on stage had at least one costume change; some students had quite a few! Audrey helped organize and run it all, and our show would not have run as smoothly without her leadership. Congratulations Audrey!
