On March 12, Churchill County High School hosted the 2025 Northern Zone Nevada Music Educators Association (NZNMEA) Choir Festival in the CCHS auditorium. "This is the only choir festival in our area, and provides students with an opportunity to showcase their talents," CCHS Minor Details Choir Director Janice Bice said. The festival brought together 12 choirs from seven schools, each delivering impressive performances throughout the day. Participating choirs included: Carson High School Chamber Choir, Douglas High School Concert Choir, Yerington High School Choir, Douglas High School Dynamics Choir, Carson High School Concert Choir, Carson High School Concert Choir, Dayton High School Choir, Fernley Intermediate Choir, Virginia City High School Silver Sound, Carson High School Choir I and II, Fernley High School Advanced Choir, CCHS Minor Details Choir (directed by Janice Bice), and CCHS Wavelength Choir (directed by Melissa Juceam). The CCHS music department would like to thank festival judges, Mr. Thomas Flemming and Ms. Nicole Heglund, for their expertise and time. They would also like to share their appreciation for Mrs. Ashley Adams for the use of the auditorium and the entire CCHS staff and community for their ongoing support of the school's music program. The NZNMEA Choir Festival marks just one of many exciting musical events for the CCHS program. The band festival will take place in Carson City next week.  Photo: Janice Bice directs the CCHS Minor Details Choir during the 2025 NZNMEA High School Choir Festival on March 12.

Students in Daire Ochs' class are learning about color theory and how to mix secondary and tertiary colors using the primary colors red, yellow, and blue. Through practice, they are now mastering how these colors can be blended to create different effects. They used the paint colors they mixed to create analogs, monochromatic, or split complementary color schemes to paint dot mandalas on records. "Coming soon is the start of a permanent installation where the student's work will be used to create a beautiful canopy for a tree in our school hallway that students can add to for years," Ochs said.Photo:  CCMS - Students in Daire Ochs' class used paint colors they mixed

Last week, Kristina Lee's fifth-grade class prepared for state testing by training to become spies. Students put their knowledge of various subjects to the test through a series of missions using volume and geometry to build a secret base and apply their understanding of cells to rescue a kidnapped dog. "Students had to put all the skills they've gained this year to accomplish their missions, become the world's greatest spy team, and ace the test, of course," Lee said. Lee transformed her classroom into a blacklight environment, and the students had to use highlighters to complete their assignments - making them feel like genuine secret agents on a mission.

Students in Stacey Stults' third-grade class are using fraction tiles to help them show where fractions go on a number line. Students Gage Lewis, Lacey Howells, and Jace Harnar shared that putting fractions on a number line is way easier than they thought. Darian Beach and Darwyn Sanchez said it was fun to draw number lines and to get the tick marks evenly spaced on the line. "They just started learning about fractions a couple weeks ago in their iReady math book and are catching on fast," Stults said. Photo: ECB - Trent Lambert, Reed Lister, and Hunter Johnstone working with fraction tiles.

Last week, students in Theresa Moon's class celebrated the 100th day of school and got creative in planning and constructing leprechaun traps. To kick off the week, each student had to count out 100 Froot Loops and make a necklace. Then they had to write what they think they will be doing when they turn 100 years old. To conclude the week, students prepared for St. Patrick's Day by constructing leprechaun traps. They are all eager to return to school on Monday morning to see if any of them will successfully catch a sneaky leprechaun. Photo: LES - Birdie Hartley and Enrique Saenzpardo show off the leprechaun trap they made.
