Due to fall break, we had a short week at SBEC, but it was awesome! In the 11th grade, the English class is busy trying to finish reading the wonderful novel, To Kill a Mockingbird. Everyone who is trying to stay with Mrs. Anderson’s homework schedule and not read ahead is just about dying to find out what happens. In American History, Mrs. Tapp led us in a game similar to Jeopardy to prepare us for our test on Tuesday. We were testing on the three branches of government, Legislative, Executive, and Judicial. Did you know that there are 535 members of Congress? Well, the 11th grade does! In Clothing Construction 1, we are learning the basics of sewing by making different styles of aprons. Throughout this short week, we sewed buttons onto our pockets and sewed our pockets onto the bottom portion of the apron.
The SBEC marching band has been working really hard on their show this year, Duty, Honor, Country. Although there is no competition this week, we still worked hard to perfect the show for next weekend’s competition at Southaven High School.
The Drama department continued to practice every day to get ready for the opening performance of Father of the Bride, our fall play. On Monday, we blocked act one and on Tuesday we blocked acts two and three. Then on Wednesday, we began the first of many run-throughs of the entire show. The cast of the show is thrilled and definitely cannot wait for the performances. Come and see the show on November 15, 16, and 17.
Wednesday was probably the most exciting day for the high school girls. SBEC had its second year of powder puff football! This year included a game pitting the freshmen girls against the sophomores! Wednesday was one of those days that we were just too excited to think about anything else, and I think the teachers could tell. After second lunch all the players hurried to get dressed and prepared for the games. In the freshmen vs. sophomore game, the freshman came out victorious as Kendall Kimberlin made two interceptions. Although the junior and senior girls were all a little tense before the game, we had a really fun and super competitive game that ended with a 14-14 tie. In the end both grades were actually happy about the outcome. We not only enjoyed the powder puff games, but also enjoyed the special commentary by Ms. Holbrook and Mrs. Anderson. Thanks so much to them!
We had a wonderful week at SBEC and look forward to many more!
