The classes observed included Government, Informational Technology (IT), band, lunch, and a free period during which Sarah worked in the office. The high school in which I observed showed its age, there was a very warm feel to the building. The first classroom I was in grew almost unbearably warm, there was still a chalkboard in the room, and the room itself felt crowded. The feeling of being crowed carried through…

I couldn’t believe that I got to play during half time at a badger game! Since we didn’t make it back for band day the past two years, I thought my adventures at Camp Randall were…

(The Mike Wazowski's) 1 Minute 'Til Midnight was the name of their band. It consisted of Aisha, the lead singer and rhythm guitarist, Robyn, the lead…

Ben Brewer, the student who wore a rock band t-shirt to school, before the rule was even made. But because of this he got suspended for a week. The rule states that you cannot wear any musical groups on a t-shirt to Hamilton Middle School.
