Band, Guest Speaker and Clickers

The band received a 2 (1 is best, 5 is worst) their first time out under the direction of new band director Elizabeth Goodearl. Way to go!


Mrs. Herwick had a guest speaker in the building to talk to her class. He is a Cassopolis graduate who struggled in high school but has since turned his life around and wanted to share his story.


Ms. Borsa's class used the Radio Frequency Classroom Response System, commonly known as clickers, to help students review for a test. One student said "This is the best lesson we've ever done Ms. Borsa!" The students do enjoy the competition and it really helps them get ready while using something they have all had available since birth, computer technology.
