Eighth grade social studies students created time capsules about issues from centuries ago, but put a modern twist on them.
They have studied George Washington, John Adams, Andrew Jackson, the election of 1800, the first political parties and the War of 1812 over the past couple of weeks. In culmination, they made the time capsules. The capsules had to include six pieces, one thing from each unit.
Students made artifacts, such as a campaign button that would have represented what a member of the Federalist party wore. Others created wanted posters and a few made whiskey bottles reflective of Washington’s whiskey rebellion.
The entire school was invited to view the exhibits and had a worksheet to complete. The modern piece of the time capsules included QR codes that led students to Google Docs to find the answers to the question on the worksheet.

A group of 43 CCHS symphonic band students achieved top honors at the Kentucky Music Educators District 5 large group assessment.
“This is the first time since I’ve been here that they received straight ones from the panel,” CCHS Band Director Brad Howard said. The band will perform in the state concert band competition in May at the University of Louisville.
The band played two songs at the district competition and was awarded the distinguished rating. Howard said it’s quite an accomplishment for the musicians to get such a score.
“They’re incredibly motivated. I have really talented kids,” he said. “You could tell they were a lot more driven this year than in years prior.”
Howard noted that a lot of band students have extra rehearsals and private lessons outside of school, but this band does not. “Everything is done in class so kids who are in sports or other extracurricular activities don’t have conflicts. I don’t want them to have to pick,” he said.
Most of the symphonic band is upperclassmen, but there are 15 freshman and sophomores that round out the group. Among the upperclassmen, at least three have auditioned for college scholarships and plan to pursue a career related to music.
Carroll County Public Library’s children’s librarian stopped by Kathryn Winn recently to talk to students about the summer reading program.
The public library’s summer reading program is open to students of all ages. Registration is May 30-June 9. The children collect badges for the number of books they read and there will be special programs such as crafts and a petting zoo during the summer.
“Kids are going to be reading over the summer and I want them to have a person to connect with at the library,” said Winn Media Specialist Phoebe James. So, she brought Children’s Librarian Elizabeth Mullins to meet the children.
“Besides maintaining their skills, summer reading, especially books that contain characters that differ from ourselves, helps increase our understanding and empathy for others,” James added.
The Carroll County Middle School eighth grade band competed in the Concert Band Festival yesterday. The seventh grade band and the Carroll County High School band will also compete. Each band is graded and is given instruction time with a guest conductor.

The students are Bailey Welch, Nic Couch, Angel Snow, Peyton Murray, Araylee Watson, Adali Bautista, Laila Miller, Jenna Switzer, Kayley Cates and Alexis Day.
