RHINO REPORT January 20th, 2017 Ramsey Middle School Minneapolis, MN Volume 2 No. 6 Annie Jr. Cast Interviews BY: Nora Grant The music of Annie has been buzzing all around Ramsey Middle. Many students have stepped forward showing their musical capability. As the actual musical is starting everyone is fully aware of the challenges and excitements that lay ahead of them. “Well this is the third time I've been in it. I’ve been in it all the years I've been here at Ramsey so I don't know I think it's pretty cool” “I am really excited and I really hope to learn more about theater and things. I just hope that I do what I know is my best and think I can do that” “I'm super excited and I think we have a really talented group of students that are helping with the cast with the set design with the costuming and I couldn't be more enthusiastic about my first show with Ramsey” “I feel really good I mean there is a lot of upsides to being in the musical but there's also some downsides, like missing really fun events like intersession and ski trips stuff like that. But I am also extremely proud to be in the musical” “I really want to improve my skills and prove that I am capable!” Early Release Days Next Week On Wednesday, January 25, and Thursday, January 26, Ramsey Middle School will be closing at 1 pm. Buses will come and pick up at that time. There will be no after school activities. These early closings are to enable essential professional development for staff to improve the work that we do with students each day, as well as time for us to work together on our programming for the future. These changes are during Intersession week, so students will not be missing regular class, and we have created an adjusted schedule so students still have access to the variety of courses Intersession offers. Only Ramsey Middle School that has the early closing on these days. Future City State Competition BY: Mr. K. Three teams of 8 th graders will be presenting Ramsey and Minneapolis Public Schools at this year’s State of Minnesota Future City Competition. These students have been working on their projects since September. They first played the SimCity computer game to learn how a city is run. Then, they composed a 1500 word research essay around this year’s theme of Public Spaces. Finally, they constructed a 3D model using mostly recycled materials and prepared a 7- minute presentation that they will present in front of judges at the state competition. Last year, RMS nearly won, so we are looking to take home the 1 st place trophy this year! If we win, we will represent the State of Minnesota a the National Competition in Washington, D.C.in February! Student Teams are: Team Bonumorbis: Charlie Boesen*, Ben King*, Jack Skogg, August Butler, Devin Knosalla, and Henry Bastian Team Hallowed Place: Faruk Badur*, Will Musser*, Asher Teal*, Alex Peik, Noah Siddiqui Team Shadows of Wisdom: Ryan McChesney*, Josh Maynard*, Fred Hillmyer*, Alex Converse, Isaiah Leflore * = competition presenter/team leader Be sure to check the next issue of the Rhino Report to read how we did!
