Basketball season has begun at Madison Middle School! For the past several weeks we have watched and supported the girls' basketball team. Thus far, the girls have been victorious against two Fairfield teams as well as a Monroe team. Hopefully, this will continue throughout the remainder of the season.
When we have had the opportunity, we formed our own mini basketball team. Staff Tyler and his players, Tyler Z., Frank D., and Alex R. were the winners of the last game.However, Staff Gary and his players, Nick M., Spencer R., Alex T., and Chris C. made a valiant effort.
When not in the gym, we continue to play the infamous card game of "Spit." Other games i.e. "Catch Phrase" and "Apples to Apples" have become favorites as well. Also, the Wii remains a constant.
Moving to the outdoors, we did have one opportunity to play in the snow. Megan G., Michael K., and Jeremy A. managed to build a small snow shelter.
Again, we would like to extend Birthday Wishes to the following students: Miranda H., Spencer R., Lilly S., and Ryan R.Birthday treats are forthcoming.
Another treat at TLC is the ever popular "Airborne Jugglers." These two characters never fail to amuse the students with their zany tricks and their ability to make juggling look easy. It is always fun after their performance when they instruct everyone as how to balance a plate on a stick and/or roll a fringed end stick up one's arm.
And, last but not least, we would like to mention two of our students who recently placed in a gymnastics competition. Andrea V. placed 6th in beam, 5th in floor, 1st in vault and bars and 3rd all around. Miranda H. placed 2nd in beam, 2nd in vault, 1st in floor routine and 2nd all around. Andrea and Miranda did not compete against one another as they were at different levels. We congratulate them both for their abilities in such a strenuous sport.
Ending for now, some of us might look forward to either more snow or an opportunity to see the ground again.
