Government Students Release Podcasts
Students in Kevin McCrea’s government have spent the last semester working on podcasts to help better understand the recent inundation of political messages associated with the Republican Primary. “The educational goal is for students to gain a better understanding of how videos utilize images and sound to create academic arguments. Images portray information and symbols that carry messages that should be consciously rather than passively consumed.” To learn more and listen to the podcasts, check out the class blog.

Two students, Orianna Riley and Soci Bassak attended the National Small Farm Tradeshow and Conference in Columbia, MO, November 3 -5, with Scattergood Farm Manager Mark Quee. Mark gave a presentation on the SARE Grant Scattergood recieved to start a long-term experiment in soil fertility management. "It's pretty cool--Advanced Biology students designed the experiment, I wrote the grant, then the class and I did soil testing, plotting and planting. Sebby and Caleb were involved in weeding, harvesting and data collection this summer. Orianna was instrumental in the classwork; Soci is going to discuss other experiments that she has been a part of through Environmental Science and Farm Project." stated Mark.

Scattergood students traveled to Earlham College to visit the school and participate in the yearly soccer game against Olney Friends School.

The other half of the school stayed behind and kept the school running. Congratulations on a successful weekend for all.
