If you have heard or seen any strange activities around the History room in the past few weeks, it's just a World History PBL taking place. Students are trying to make plans for "How to teach others about the culture and events of the French Revolution".
So, welcome to "Vive La France" - A trip back in time to a French revolution living history experience. Student have been busy working on 3D Puzzles representing the french culture over the years - The Eiffel Tower, Notre Dame, Mont Saint Michel, and Chateau de Chennonceau. They are also busy working on historical characters to protray and figuring out how to dress in period clothing or at least make it look like it is period clothing.
Vie la France!
It's March so that must mean it is time again for Pop Madness! There was no Pop Culture class this year so our streak of annual Pop Madness nearly came to an end. Thanks to Mr. T's suggestion and some student energy from the Government Class we would like to present Pop Madness 2025: Historical Movie Edition.
Students researched over 120 different historical films before narrowing the list down to 64 films broken into four categories: Ancient World, Age of Expansion, World at War, and Modern World. Just one word of caution - although all of these are incredible historical movies, many contain adult themes, harsh language, and depictions of horrific actions so we are NOT listing any movies as a recommendation for children to watch.
Here is our Mystery Judge for Pop Madness 2025: I’m a 45-year-old middle school history teacher from central Ohio who loves a good history flick. My favorite time periods in American history are the Founding, the Civil War, and World War II, but lately, I’ve been reading a lot about Irish immigration and NYC’s historic 5 Points. When watching a historical movie, I’m looking for a mixture of historical accuracy and cinematography. It’s okay if the movie doesn’t get everything right as long as it sticks to the basic premise and is fun to watch.
Some classic shows that did not make our list included Roots, Band of Brothers, John Adams, Shogun, The Pacific, and M*A*S*H. Each of these was either a TV miniseries or in the case of M*A*S*H we felt the film was overshadowed by the TV series. Some tough opening round matchups include Unbroken vs. Hacksaw Ridge, Sergeant York vs. Saving Private Ryan, Red Dawn vs Platoon, and Hamilton vs. Titanic.
Who is your favorite to win it all?

Congratulations Kruz!
Students have been celebrating March Madness by shooting hoops in the library. Elementary students answer library and book trivia questions to get a chance to shoot, and students in grades 7-12 take breaks from studying to hoop it up on their end of the library.
Today's throwback takes us all back to the 1974 Northern Lites! Do you remember this or recognize anyone from these pages? We'd love to hear your stories and see your memories in the comments below!
Students in the “Library Unplugged Club” are taking time to unwind, unplug, and get lost in a good book. Keep turning those pages and exploring new stories!
Congratulations Xander!
