DES Students Celebrate Star Wars Day!

On May 4th, students in Miss Kopac's third grade class at DES celebrated Star Wars Day! Some of the fun activities included researching and creating timelines of the Star Wars movie releases, reading about the voice of Darth Vader (James Earl Jones), and writing about a fictitious planet in a galaxy far, far away. In math class, students practiced finding the area of shapes by drawing their own Star Wars droid on grid paper. In science class, the students got to use the (magnetic) force to move objects. It was a day full of fun and learning for all of the young Jedi!

Band Director 'Toots His Own Horn'

Our very own Chad McCartney, NMS Bands, Music Department Chair, is part of Fink's Constant, a central PA ska band that he helped form about 23 years ago. Last month, they had the honor of being recorded and interviewed by WITF's Joe Ulrich. The link below will let you see additional pictures and hear the songs. Chad reports: 'I have always tried to practice what I preach; making music is one of the greatest joys that a musician can have. I hope this will help people learn a little bit about the music of Jamaica...and maybe smile, just a little."


Thank you Chad, for sharing your gift of music with your Northern family!

Ska music has largely been an under the radar genre with a few waves since its original heyday in the late 1950s. If you're cocking your head to the side with a 'huh?' face, don't worry. The band Fink's Constan t can help explain.
