SHOW WEEK IB STUDENTS ART SHOW April 19th – 23rd Miah Barnard, Katherine Potter & Grace Talbut April 26th – 30th Anna Bishop, Meghan Eames, Madison Haynes & Julianna Morrales May 3rd – 7th Maggie Restuccia, Kirsten Cherevko, Will Scheel & Logan Messina May 10th – 14th Gabriella Vega, Allie Bowen & Hannah Goldberg • Miah Barnard’s National Winning Piece – Gold Medal and American Vision Medal (In a “normal” year, American Visions pieces tour major cities in the United States of America for up to two years. This year the tour the tour is virtual) 1 Biology • In Mrs. Singlar’s Classes: In Anatomy & Physiology we just completed the Cardiovascular System Unit, with labs including understanding/measuring blood pressure, reading EKGs and a cow heart dissection video (in-person dissections planned later this spring). Our next topic will be the Lymphatic System, with a focus on how our body responds to pathogens. • In Living Environment, we are well into our Genetics Unit. In one lab for the unit, students became parents (on paper only!), partnering up and flipping coins to determine which allele they each passed on to pair with their partners and potentially creating new combinations of traits in their offspring! Other labs this unit have included investigating their own inheritable traits to determine their own genetics and extracting DNA from strawberries. • Mrs. Donlin's classes also extracted DNA from strawberries in Living Environment and finished up our Genetic Engineering Unit right on time for Spring Break! The AIM Bio class utilized DNA models borrowed from Cornell to study how DNA bases pair to form a double helix. Business • 14 Vestal High School students will participate virtually during April 5-7 in NYS competition, which allows them to compete in Nationals in late June if they place 1-3. • The students take Objective tests in a variety of Business topics. Chemistry • Seven IBHL/AP Chemistry students competed in the Local American Chemical Society Chemistry Olympiad on March 27th; results are pending. • IB and AP Chemistry classes are wrapping up the third marking period preparing for a cumulative exam. Both classes are exploring the topic of Electrochemistry "currently". Counseling & Guidance • Counselors hosted a Junior College Parent Night on March 2nd via zoom with representatives from SUNY Broome, Binghamton University, Colgate University, SUNY Cortland, SUNY Delhi, Rochester Institute of Technology and 2 Syracuse University. Approximately 80 families attended this virtual event to start preparing for the college search process. • Binghamton University will be hosting a zoom for their College Link program on Wednesday, March 31st for students interested in taking college level courses while in high school. Similarly, SUNY Broome will be meeting with students in April for their Early College Program. • Counselors finished the scheduling process for all students in 9th – 11th grades. We have a record number of over 25 sophomores who have expressed an interest in pursuing the full International Baccalaureate diploma. • 20 out of the 25 students that applied to the BOCES New Visions Program have moved on to the interview round. • All of our BOCES CTE ½ - day students were invited to return to in person learning 5 days a week • We are also excited to have our BOCES Youth Apprentice opportunities back. Counselors are advertising to find students that would be interested. • Summer school planning under way. Will be in person this year. • Dollars for Scholars Applications are due on April 1st. • Visions Federal Credit Union is hoping to open soon as well. • Nina Muto presented to the HS faculty about Self-Care planning and resources during the Faculty Meeting. Elementary News: • Mindful Mondays at ARE are still going strong! It is a PTA sponsored event and occurs afterschool hours for our students, families and staff at ARE to help reduce stress, anxiety and stay focused! We have had 4 sessions with 4 more to go! Earth Science • On Saturday, March 13th, two Science Olympiad teams from VHS competed in their annual Regional tournament. The Vestal A team took 1st place in 8 out of 15 events securing them 1st place overall and the Vestal B team placed 4th overall. The Vestal A team will move on to the statewide tournament held on April 10th. We are incredibly proud of all their hard work in this unusual year- awesome job, everyone! Coaches Caitlin Pointer, Chris Rockhill, Ryan Brembs and Denelle Chantry. • Garden Club has started their seeds to sell plants later this year to the public. It was good to physically be together to plant the seeds, while still maintaining social distancing practices. We also were able to take advantage of the nice weather we have been having lately and planted peas in our raised bed gardens. • Ms. Smith's Earth Science classes finished the Astronomy Unit and have been working on the Meteorology Unit. Forensics 2 classes are working on the Firearms/Ballistics Unit before moving on to the Anthropology Unit. 3 • Ms. Pointer's Intro to Earth Science class constructed Lego buildings and tested how they performed on the “shake table” to simulate how earthquakes can impact man-made structures. English • The ninth-grade students of Mx. Martin are beginning their research paper unit. The students will be utilizing the online database to use research to form an educated opinion about historical accuracy in modern adaptations of Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet to conclude our media adaptation theme after the break. • The IB English grade 11 students of Mrs. Benjamin and Mrs. Datoush are doing a variety of outside readings of works in translation texts from all over the world. Students will write an essay detailing the merits and literary features of their texts. Then, each student will “pitch” their book in a creative way to their fellow classmates. This may be in the form of a traveling salesperson, a filmed commercial, an infomercial, or as a Ted-talk type hard sell. • Mr. Malejs and Mr. Marcin are piloting a co-taught unit on Existentialism and Franz Kafka's Metamorphosis for their English 12 students. They hope to be able to combine one or two of their classes in a Zoom discussion of the text at the end of the unit. • Mrs. Drexler-Smith’s IB English 12 students composed original poems that emulated the craft of professional authors. In a class publication, we pulled together their personal voices toward significant influences on their lives. Mr. Dunham’s students were also invited to contribute their poems to this publication. Health • In March, students in Health Education completed a unit on Mental Health. We studied stress, depression and anxiety and practiced healthy habits like deep breathing, mindfulness, gratitude, meditation, and exercise. Students completed an advocacy project to help dispel the stigma surrounding mental health issues so that all students feel more comfortable seeking help. • We are in the middle of a Goal Setting project. Each student has set a health goal that they are working on and tracking for the next 3 weeks. Many have fitness or nutrition goals. Lots of students are trying to drink the right amount of water for their body size and activity level. Many are working on getting 4 more hours of sleep. We also looked into health apps that can help us track our goals and send us regular reminders to help us stay focused. IB • IB Theory of Knowledge (from Mrs. Drexler-Smith): In our thematic unit on "Knowledge and Politics," students were exposed to aspects of the scope, perspectives, methods/tools, and ethics of political knowledge. Students are currently engaging in a project for which they organize facts, statistics, reasons, and linguistic phrasing for a particular agenda and then reflect upon their self-awareness toward such influences on others' packaging of information. • As students prepare for their IB and AP exams that will begin in May, teachers are completing the remaining Internal Assessments for their IB courses. World Languages have recently completed their Individual Oral assessments, in which students demonstrate productive and interactive skills (a presentation by the student and a follow-up discussion based on a visual stimulus linked to one of the prescribed themes of the course, and a general conversation with the teacher based on at least one additional theme of the course). • IB and AP exams will be given in person as much as is logistically possible. Research has shown that students perform better on high-stakes tests when they are in person and in school. Best of luck to our students on their exams! We officially begin with IB German on Thursday, April 29, 2021. Math • The Math Department is continuing to work diligently to provide the best learning experience to both their remote and hybrid students. We are currently wrapping up marking period 3 and looking ahead to start off the last marking period strong. • Kim Schofield, Amanda Reid, Chelsea Northrop, and Abby Rieben represented the Math Department in the Lip Sync Battle put on by Student Government. The “Math Divas” won their first round and are looking forward to creating another exciting video for round #2! • Late breaking news on VHS Mathletes, 21 Vestal students participated in the American Mathematics Competition on February 4th and now the results are in.

  • Echo and Pine
    Get Your Kicks at the 50th June 2-5, 2016 Echo and Pine 1 Letter from the President Dear Members of the Classes of 1966: On this noteworthy anniversary, it is my great pleasure to welcome you, the trailblazing members of the Classes of 1966, back to campus. From my conversations with many of you and from the memories you share in the following pages, it is apparent that the social and political upheavals of the mid-1960s – and their expressions on campus – substantially shaped your worldviews and your lives. Equally apparent is the collective sense of the Colleges’ impact on the way in which your Classes navigated those turbulent times, from the attentiveness and care of the faculty and administration, to the camaraderie of the student body, to the thought-provoking nature of the coursework. As we join together in celebrating with you this Golden Jubilee, perhaps most apparent is the remarkable success of the Classes of 1966, not only in spite of the changing national landscape 50 years ago, but also because of it. Through the burgeoning Civil Rights movement and the Vietnam War, through the Cold War and the advent of the Internet, through the 9/11 attacks and increasing globalization, your classes have thrived in this changing world and helped shape it – as doctors and educators; business and religious leaders; attorneys and musicians; service-members in law enforcement and the military; Fulbright winners and world-travelers; local, national and international volunteers; and parents and grandparents. On behalf of our faculty, staff and students, I thank you for joining us this weekend and for your indelible contributions to your communities, your country and your alma maters.
