Career Internships
Last Semester, some students in Jessica Robbin's Gifted and Talented group signed up for professional internships. This January twenty-first, these students met with local professionals that were deemed ideal to be their mentors. These students are now almost done with their internships in careers spanning from computer programming to wildlife park range service, giving them early steps into their chosen fields. This program is expected to return next year, with a whole new batch of interns and mentors, giving even more kids experience in the work world. In the future, good things will come of this, but what things, only time will tell.

Math Videos at BMS
Bayfield Middle School’s 6th grade Challenge Program created videos as part of the Math Counts Video Challenge. Students formed teams of four students each to create a video that teaches the solution to one of the problems from the 2013-2014 MATHCOUNTS School Handbook. The videos were created in a “Common Craft” style using cutouts to help explain the problems “in Plain English.” The boys chose to explain Math Counts right square pyramid surface area problem #213 and ice cream combinations problem #102, while the girls chose an elapsed time problem #13.

Dodgeball Tournament
The dodgeball tournament held at Bayfield High School on March 17th was an absolute success! About $325 was raised for the Make a Wish foundation that the school district is participating in this year. Eight teams played in double elimination games of dodgeball. The entry fee was twenty dollars per team. The winning team was Zach Kujath, Kyle Killough, Jesse Hunt, Cameron Seivert, Chris Kane, Max Miller, Maggie Baxter, and Celeste Faumui. It gave students and teachers a chance to participate in exciting and competitive dodgeball games with one another and was all for a great cause. Mrs. Aveis donated the concession money made that night to the foundation as well. The high school is getting closer and closer to their goal with two more fundraisers this week. The dodgeball tournament was an excellent way to get the students and staff involved in a great fundraiser for the Make a Wish Foundation.

FCCLA Districts
FCCLA members at the high school enjoyed a fun day filled with activities and team building exercises at the annual districts meeting. It was held at the county fair grounds in Durango and FCCLA members from Cortez, Ignacio, and Bayfield attended. They listened to a speaker sharing her experience in the Peace Corp and her journey in Madagascar. They also competed in a cupcake war where everyone was divided up into teams and given a theme to design their cupcakes. The students had a fun time working together to construct a creative concoction of cupcakes. The day was ended with the member's being asked to describe their experience in one word. "Spectacular!" "Fun!" and "Messy!" were said by the students; it was a successful and interactive day for everyone who attended.
