CHURCHILL COUNTY HIGH SCHOOL
Students in Amanda Hammond’s art class unveiled their latest exhibition, Whisperings of the Nevada Desert, now on display at Western Nevada College’s Fallon campus.
Under the guidance of Hammond, students have spent the semester creating original pieces that reflect the beauty of Nevada’s desert landscape. The exhibition showcases a wide range of media styles, each piece offering a unique interpretation of the region’s natural elements.
“My advanced art students worked hard to create this exhibition at WNC's Fallon campus,” Hammond said. “Their commitment to capturing our local landscape and bringing this show to life has been inspiring to witness and be a part of it.”
A public reception was held April 3. Guests were invited to meet the artists and celebrate their creativity and dedication.
“The show will be in the WNC gallery for the month, so stop by if you have a chance and check it out,” Hammond said.
CHURCHILL COUNTY MIDDLE SCHOOL
Last week, LaResa Darrington’s class fell for a well-executed April Fool’s prank.
With help from the front office, a mock phone call was made to Darrington’s class calling for a flood drill exercise. Without hesitation, students were quick to follow instructions and began climbing onto their desks, removing their shoes and socks, and waited patiently for further instructions.
“Not one of them caught on,” Darrington said.
The prank left the class laughing once the truth was revealed, and it was a memorable experience for her middle school students.
NUMA
Last week, Numa recognized third-quarter SOAR students during assemblies. The SOAR students participated in a tribe flash challenge, while their classmates cheered them on.
Each quarter, teachers select students who consistently demonstrate the Numa SOAR motto by helping keep the school safe, showing outstanding character, striving for academic excellence, and treating others with respect.
E.C. BEST
Last week, E.C. Best celebrated their paraprofessionals who make a lasting impact on the school community.
Paraprofessionals play a crucial role in supporting teachers and students by assisting with classroom instruction, providing individual support to high-need students, and helping teachers and staff manage daily classroom activities.
“We could not survive without these caring, patient, and loving women,” teacher Christine Mori said. “We are so grateful for them and wanted them to know just how much we value all that they do.”
The staff at ECB would like to express their appreciation for Leanna Fitzpatrick, Amy McElvain, Luna Conley, Brittney Robbins, Leslie Slocum Alecea Gutierrez, and Julie Blackwater for everything they do for the school, the students, and their families.
LAHONTAN
Students at Lahontan have come together to celebrate the strength and resilience of military children by doing a school-wide art project.
Each class was given a large dandelion to decorate, symbolizing the idea that military children, like dandelion seeds, can bloom wherever they land.
The project was planned by teacher Lindsey Bacallo in collaboration with the Purple Star Committee at LES. Bacallo drew and cut out the large dandelions, and provided them for each class so the students could add their personal touches. The completed artwork serves as a reminder of the strength and adaptability of military children who thrive no matter where their family is stationed.
To take this project a step further, the school librarian will read the book I’m a Dandelion and lead a lesson with each class so they can further explore the meaning behind the dandelion and its relevance to representing military children.
