This morning during enrichment FFA members learned about all the upcoming FFA events 7 HAD some fun competing in team building activities!
In this challenging and pandemic year, I believe we have seen just how important the arts are in our world. Music is a big part of how we survive in difficulty, celebrate in good times, bond with others, and create memories. Music can be our escape or how we connect with our own emotions. I am thankful that theatre incorporates music in so many ways. Students need to see how music defines a scene, a character, a feeling, or changes the atmosphere in a production. -JESSICA KROPP-
Mena Middle School 7th graders completed their study of the body systems with the frog dissection lab recently. Students were able to use lab tools and practice proper dissection methods to examine the exterior and interior organs of the frog.
