SMS Students Win 2nd Place in International Competition
Safford Middle School students, recently won second place in the International KC3 ~ Kids Creating Community Content Videoconferencing Competition, Returning Middle School Division.
The students were involved in every aspect of the research, creation and broadcast of their original program titled “Copper is Our Star”. Through the school’s videoconferencing, the students connected with a class in Victor, Montana and shared what they had discovered about the importance of copper to our state and local area. The students were able to share this unique virtual tour from our school using interactive videoconferencing technology.
Mrs. Arrington facilitated a student team comprised of Tyler Crohn, Summer Dahlquist-Tookey, Emily Eaton, Mariah Gherna, Yenica Gil Ayala, Crystal Haase, Trinity Langston, Monica Larez, Charlotte Peterson, Cameron Rios, Alexis Ronning, Quentin Sanchez, Sabian Shupe, Hallie Skinner, Taylor Swapp, Brianna Varnam, Jozabelle Verhelst, Estefana Villalba, and Ryan Wilson. Congratulations to these students!
“I think this (KC3) was one of the most beneficial things I've done in terms of student engagement to the curriculum in all of the years I've been teaching”. Mrs. Arrington
In past competitions, Students from Safford Middle School have placed 4th (2011) and 3rd (2012). This year’s second place finish is best to date.
