On Friday, Mrs. Kariainen took twelve Ironwood art students to the Oulu Glass Gallery in Brule, Wisconsin. Students attended three workshops. In the thermal plastic session, students were able to work with thermal plastic to make small artistic shapes. In the painting studio, students learned about various methods of painting. In the glass session, students created a small piece of colorful glass. It was a fantastic field trip!
Four Ironwood students performed in Wisconsin Choral Directors Association honors choirs on the campus of Lawrence University last Saturday. Hailey Johnson sang in the treble choir, Kali Traczyk and Noah Hofstede sang in the tenor/bass choir, and Aidan Bach sang in the Vocal Jazz Ensemble. The VJE is relatively new, and Aidan is the first student from Michigan to sing in that group. Aidan auditioned and was chosen as one of sixteen students from the entire state of Wisconsin (and our part of Michigan) to perform in the VJE. Congratulations to all four students for excellent performances!
