same thing as we had Ready Math come back and be able to work with us doing walkthroughs yesterday at Mackel, today at Pike Creek and the great things that we're seeing in the math instruction as well um as people are taking on this new curriculum which is a a big challenge to go ahead and do that as well. So, lots of positives going on and looking forward to seeing what's going to be happening in the future. So, mark your calendars for uh April 9th. >> What time? >> 4:36. Okay. >> Thank you. Good evening. I I asked Mrs. Tid to go quick so I could take some over time because I I have a lot. I did try to to tone it back a little bit. Um I I wanted to celebrate our music programs to start. Um and we don't do that a lot, but this year at the middle school, those programs have all grown.
>> Yeah. >> Goes for a dash attack and he tries to punish, but unfortunately he shields. >> Trying for a back air and a border. very good landing. >> Oh, he manages to get over. Is he going to do a down beat? Oh, he is. >> Is he going? >> He He probably is actually. >> I don't Can Kirby down be spike. >> But one thing I do know, >> can take a stalk. >> Yep. Can >> I don't think down spike. >> I think the spiky one can. >> Maybe it can. >> Maybe that's why it's spiky. Yeah, >> maybe. >> He did lose that, but I'm pretty sure we got more where that came from. >> We definitely do. >> We got Jaden going >> because we got the big blue J >> putting on his headphones. Got to adjust the ears. >> The Captain Blue J.
Um we're up to nearly 100 kids in choir, which is the most we've had in a few years. We actually added a fourth period of band. So now instead of coming over for three periods, he comes over in Mr. Burn for four periods of band uh with over 100 kids in band. So those programs have have grown. Um and we've we when you got more kids involved and you have more things to celebrate and we have a few students and this wasn't required, but they went to the Indiana State School Music Association, which you might hear called ISFMA. um and and high school wins and middle school kids and this was voluntary and woo close one. Um wanted to celebrate Ruby Kitner who got a gold and her piano solo and then we had two others Tessa Bogs and Lily Barnett who got gold in their V vocal solos with perfect scores.
>> The one and only Captain Blue J. >> Or Jaden. I'm spacing. Is Kirby their last character? >> Kirby is their last, I believe. Let me check real quick. >> Kerbo is their last. >> Mhm. >> And they still have We still have six dogs. >> Yep. So, we have Jaden and another player if Jaden fails. >> Yeah. >> So, we're going to see how this goes. >> Probably would be Deacon if I had to assume. Kirby did not lose a stock that round. So neither of them have to actually self-destruct. So we are ready to get it on. Landing a landmine right there. Hopefully Kirby doesn't land on the land mine and call it mine. >> There's a dash attack. There's plenty of aerials cuz I tell you. And Jaden already busting out the fishing rod cuz the fishing rod is pretty efficient if you know what I mean.
Um, so celebrate those kids in our in our music program as it's continued to grow at the middle school, which is which has been great for them. It gives a lot of kids opportunity, especially those who u maybe they're not in sports or that's just not their thing. Um, which would take me to my next one, which would be our athletics. Winter athletics is wrapping up. Boys basketball's over with, girls basketball's over or got another week, excuse me. The girl the boys eighth grade won our ball tournament this year. Uh, I think they were maybe favored for the the TRC and didn't work out. And it's been nice to watch our sixth, seventh, and eighth grade because not only this year, but if you look back to those kids in sixth grade when they were all about this tall um except for one. Now they've all grown into into their bodies as eighth graders and and so they had they had a really good season.
All right, get the get the back air. Plenty of back air. Strikes for the up tilt. Trying anything he can to get a combo off. I think Kirby actually destroyed the landmine right there. So Jane's going to have to plant another one if he wants it on the board. He's going to need some room though cuz Kirby seems to be really aggressive. Oh, tries to throw him right onto the stage. You got to be careful with that since that fishing rod can even extend onto the stage and pull you off. So you got to be worried. Got to be holding shield or something. Either that or you got to hit Isabelle before she can uh before she can launch it. And another landmine destroyed. But luckily he planted another one. He seems to be planting those in around the same area like right by the ledge, you know.
They were good team. They had a great season. Um, and then our girls have they won the wall bash tournament and the connival tournament. And then their TRC is next Saturday, which is the 7th. March 7th, they'll be playing the TRC finals. Hopefully, they're in. It's March 7th. Um, our wrestling is still going on. Their they their T that's we're kind of right in the middle of wrestling. It starts a little bit later. Their TRC tournament is Friday the 13th. >> Yeah. And and then swim. That's two more weeks of swim and then all our winter sports are back. So, it's wrapping up quickly and it's, you know, three or four nights a week at the middle school. There are things going on. So, there's a lot going on over there. Um, next I want to talk about the pictures that Chris is going to put up on the slide.
>> Yeah, that's a really good spot to place them. >> They are wood. >> They are. >> I believe he places them depending on where the opponent is. >> That's true. He isn't being random. He's very calculated. I will say. All right. Does his down be launches him up. Oh, Kirby air dodges, but a little too soon cuz Jaden was easily able to punish afterwards. Trying to launch off a landmine in midair. That's pretty nice. So, Kirby has plenty of aerials to deal with Jaden and going right around on his balloons. Back here and does an up special and a get up attack as oh as well on the ledge. All right. He does a down air. Plenty of aerials, I will say. Does a dash attack. Oh. Oh, and Kirby just launching just launching over the landmine to to take it out, I will say.
And so, in 1851, this cabin Oh, that's my notes. Sorry. was built um here close by been part of the mechanical school corporation and there's a little history here. I'm not going to go through all I was and in 1983 this was moved to a tree farm in Noblesville and was part you know part of the the core of the tree farm. It's interesting how things work out. Um, two of our families, oh, the hunts and the fruits happen to know the people at the tree farm and the tree farm closed down. So, they had this cabin that was originally here in Miami County in our school district and the fruits were a and the hunts were able to to get a hold of this and it was completely taken down and every piece is numbered and it's sitting in the barn. um it needs to be reconstructed and and our hope is that we can reconstruct it out by the fort um on the back property.
Oh, what a what a what a read. Oh, yeah. Tr uh true to Kirby's main gimmicks, um he put Jaden in his mouth and and took away his pocket ability. So that means he can pocket anything that Jaden throws at him, which is like the slingshot pellets. >> That's about it. >> The Lloyd rocket if he gets close enough. And that's about it. Yeah. And I don't see him like taking the slingshot pellets anytime soon. All right, putting down another landmine. kind of just playing a spacing game, you know. Oh. Oh, he almost landed on it. Is dancing right around. Oh, but not enough. >> There's a uptail into an up air and another up air and a neutral air. There's a neutral air forward special as the fishing rod. >> Five and one. >> It seems like Oh, that's >> how many stocks we're at right now.
So, Mr. Barnett, who's kind of spearheaded this all and he he put this together for you guys um is working with various people trying to get grants to make all this happen. Um and if you know him, he's very in history and and constantly doing lots of things. We just had Pioneer Day with the high school coming over last week to help our kids. the entire day was awesome. His youngest son is named Lincoln. Like he loves history. So he he is working with a group uh the Daughters of the American Revolution looking at some big grants, but he's also looking for small grants, anything he can find in order for us to get a foundation and then start reconstruction this cabin that can be part of our our fort and our Native American village and then also have a cabin out there. Um, this past year, if you remember, in the fall, we had our first grade come out and they they did a pioneer day the whole day that were out there and the high school came and helped us and middle school kids did it and the kids went to rotations and um we did it two different parts of the day and it was a fantastic experience and we don't have to pay to go to Connor'sville or Connor Prairie or those kind of things.
>> Mhm. >> Cuz we have a two and a three and he's just one. Mhm. Double six. >> That's awesome. >> Not anymore. Doing a shield trying to trying to get around this per Jaden is not playing that. Jaden is not trying to be aggressive and he and it makes sense because he doesn't really need to. He has like another stock and he's got this match in the books. That is it for our stream tonight. >> Believe we have an outro actually >> where papers to do the outro. >> Yep. We >> I believe our very special guest Jordan should do our outro. >> Really? All right. Well, why don't we do the outro? So, thank you everyone for joining us. Tomorrow we will have our Mario Kart competition as well as our Rocket League team facing off against >> um >> Meno High School.
We can do some of these here and if we're able to add, you know, all cabin it just adds to it. So, I wanted to give you that. I wanted to tell you about his project. Now, this is going to be a multi-year thing. This isn't probably something we're going to get done right away unless we can find some really generous donors. Um, but this is something that that we now have in our possession that's completely down to just the wood uh that needs reconstructed and we got to put a foundation down.
Join us at 5:00 PM tomorrow for more exciting esports competitions. For more exciting esports competitions. Thank you for joining us tonight. We love you and have a great rest of your night. >> Goodbye.
And if you have he's and he wanted me to say you have any questions, feel free to contact me because he loves talking about this kind of stuff. He is working with um as I said the Daughters of the American Revolution. They're also doing a genealogy project with this and trying to come up with all the history of it to to put more of the pieces together. And you can see there in 1851, you know, the family that had built it and and owned it. So, it's 175 years old and who who owned that for 150 years. >> Cool.
>> Any questions for most? >> Thank you. >> Follow that up. >> Can we rent that as an Airbnb? We'll do We can make some money. We'll figure it out. >> How's the campground back there? >> So, the high school, we've got a lot going on. Um, you know, as Catherine and I joke a lot that, uh, a school never it's never closed. Always something going on at the school. And so, uh, our our winter sports are pretty much wrapped up. Our girls had a basketball made it to regionals. You know, tough loss there. U, but I tell you, our fan support was great. Um it it really was we had a we had a really good crowd there uh at Lapel. Um we've got our boys basketball team that plays next Wednesday, second game against Peru in the Logan sports uh sectional and then we uh this past weekend we had two semi-state wrestlers that were that they both got beat their first round.
But to make it to the state level uh it was really something. And so Ari Shrock uh made it as a sophomore and then Evan Opalsby made it as a senior. So uh hats off to them because that's that's a lot of hard work and dedication in the off season to kind of get there. So um you know and then the kids that stick around with that too to help those kids practice and things. So uh a lot of good things there. Um we've got Mr. Holland. You you saw what he's doing. He's got these kids learning hands-on about some things. And I don't know about you, but I've been down there a few times to see what's going on. And I I don't know if you've ever done drywall before or put drywall mud. But I tell you what, that is not an easy thing to do.
And he's down there showing them how to do that. And I I want to tell them you may need that later when you get you get older and have kids that somebody accidentally bumps into the wall and you got to repair it. You got to know how to do that. That's going to come in handy one day. So uh you know the hats off to him and uh again our our pioneer day has you know our kids helped last week. Uh we've got our uh our pathways that are going got a lot of kids are involved in the uh our education pathway, our early childhood pathway are they're helping Mrs. Johnson over at Pipe Creek every day. Um and then the things we've got upcoming, we've got FFA week, which is this week. Uh yesterday was camo day. Today was twin day. dress like dress as your favorite teacher.
Uh tomorrow we are having the uh we're having the students are driving the trackers tomorrow. So they all meet over at the uh the church over here and then they drive and single file and we're going to park in a parking lot we've had closed just because it's we get everybody away from each other. Kids always get excited about that. Uh couple days ago, we went and and picked the the nicest truck, the oldest truck, the dirtiest truck, and the truck that was most like a farm vehicle. And so there was there, you know, you got two bales of straw and some feet in the back with a broom and, you know, got a lot of dirt on it. It's white. You know, you're probably going to win that. So, it was a lot of fun to do that. Uh we've got the play coming up.
The Adams families coming up March 7th and 8th. March 13th and 14th we've got the ISMA. It's actually a middle school. Um it's kind of like an invitational. We're they're going to be Friday night and they're going to be here all day Saturday. You're talking anywhere from 500 to 750 kids are going to be here uh from central Indiana. Um next week we have SAT testing on Wednesday, March 4th. We start that and then that'll carry March 4th, 5th and 6th with different different groups. Um and right we got the winter sports banquet next win or March 18th. Uh and then also Friday during the day, March 13th, we have a complication. Uh we've got professional BMX bikers coming in and they're going to have a complication on anti-bullying, mental health, and resilience, which I I think is fits well with within our our kids at this age and and trying to know how to handle those things.
