We have some intense competitions going on here at Ironwood! In Mr. Lyons' class, students in the 7th grade competed for the most memorized numbers of Pi. Aila Ruotsala won in 1st hour, and Caydin Kangas won both in her 2nd hour class and overall for 7th grade. Riley DeTray won a contest for drawing the most perfect circle on a tablet (it's harder than it looks!) We will have more updates as the day goes along!
The sixth graders read the book Woodsong, by Gary Paulsen. The book is about Gary's experiences while training sled dogs, and his race in the Iditarod. Students created a scene illustration of the book to demonstrate understanding. Nice work, students!

A final thanks to Donnie Maki, of DM Services for organizing the donation of wood from Forslunds Building Supply. We received almost 200 board feet of pine, which our 3rd and 4th hour Woodworking students used to make Adirondack chairs.
A big thank you to Gus Forslund (Forslunds Building Supply), Jerry Synkelma (Ameriprise), Red Richards (Red Construction), Joe Pisco (Pisco Roofing and Siding), Jeff Wessenberg (Sawdust Bin Inc) and Donnie Maki (DM Services) for contributing to the donation. The kids did great work!
