On Wednesday March 18th Ennis played host to the Junior High Band Festival. A gathering of 5 schools and over 100 students were in attendance at this event. The students worked hard to prepare their music and then spent the full day rehearsing with their director and finishing with a concert that afternoon.

The guest conductor for the 7th/8th grade band was Elizabeth Driskell. She currently is the High school orchestra in Ames, IA. Mrs. Driskell has been a music teacher for 31 years. Over her music career she has taught beginning band, middle school band, music technology, marching band, beginning orchestra and high school orchestra. Mrs. Driskell holds a masters in music education from Northwestern University. She was also Mrs. Zucker's middle school teacher back in Cedar Rapids, Ia.

14 high school students participated in Academic Olympics at MSU on March 18th. Academic Olympics is an annual event that brings together students to compete in various intellectual challenges.

Our Lady Mustangs have advanced to the loser out match at 9 am Saturday morning against Florence. This game will still be played in the Brick Breeden Field House at MSU.
Go Mustangs!!

Sixth grade students have been learning how to play chess during their library time. While chess is a fun and challenging game, it also helps strengthen important academic skills. One of the biggest benefits is improving visual memory, which plays an important role in reading development. As students remember patterns, positions, and strategies on the board, they are also exercising the same memory skills used when recognizing words and understanding text.

After learning the rules, practicing strategies, and playing several matches, students wrapped up the unit with a chess tournament. The competition was exciting, and students showed great focus, patience, and sportsmanship throughout the games.

Congratulations to Emmett Putman, who earned the title of Class Chess Champion!

3rd Grade News from Mrs. Hubner's Class: 3rd Graders are working on circuit board projects. They began by building circuits with batteries and Christmas lights and learning how electricity works. Then they built boards to identify the continents and oceans. They are using foil as their electric conductor. When they are finished, they will be able to practice their continents and oceans by seeing if their circuit lights up. Nice job 3rd graders!

This week in the school library, students are participating in a lively Speed Dating for Books event. The library buzzed with excitement as students moved from station to station, spending just a few minutes with each book to see if it sparked their interest — much like a real speed-dating experience but with a literary twist!
