7TH GRADE MUSTANGS IN MS. FRANTTI'S STEM COURSE LEARN ABOUT THE MATH AND PHYSICS BEHIND BUILDING STRUCTURES.
The students pictured below were the 2 winning teams from a tower building contest in class. Students used uniformly sized small sticks or blocks to build the tall structures. The structures of all teams had to be certified by Ms. Frantti to ensure that the proper instructions were followed. STEM is an acronym that stands for Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math. Students in the STEM course learn about the interplay of these 4 areas through project-based learning.

This is a very popular course, especially for students that have expressed interest in careers and university training in the sciences and medical fields.

BOYS IN THE BAND! ON TUESDAY, MARCH 1ST, THE MUNISING MIDDLE SCHOOL AND HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS TRAVELED TO MARQUETTE SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL TO PLAY AT THE DISTRICT FESTIVAL.
Mrs. Gaunt advised that the high school band did quite well, improving over previous years to earn a "2 rating" across the board. She is already planning to make changes that will hopefully lead to earning "1 ratings" in the near future. She also noted that the middle school band student also received good feedback from the judges that will enable them to improve.
