DANCE:
On Thursday January 25th, a professional Hip Hop Dancer and Instructor from the Dance Company The Puzzle League, came to Maine East to teach Hip Hop to the students enrolled in Dance this semester. The students had the opportunity to learn under a Master Hip Hop artist.
The Dance students this semester are kicking off a KINDNESS initiative. You should expect to see acts of kindness and compassion from the students, in and out of the classroom. The actions of kindness are student inspired and followed through in their cooperative learning groups.
This Semester's Dance Showcase is Monday April 30th-held in the MEHS auditorium, 10:30-12:00.
On December 9, 2017, the Maine East Slam Team won the "Louder than a Lawnmower" slam competition here at MEHS! The contest involved ten teams from the Chicago suburbs, and our poets took top honors for the day. Congratulations to all team members and to their coaches, Eric Coval and Nicole Beyers! In the next few weeks, the team will be participating in Louder Than a Bomb contests, so come out and support them! A good match to see will be at 10 am on Saturday, March 3rd, at Columbia College.
In Wordwright's December 2017 challenge, a Maine East junior, Mariam Kane, earned a perfect score, placing among the 34 top-scoring juniors in the country! We also had two juniors (Krystian Kuprowski and Evan Weiss) and two seniors (Laura Pokorski and Michael Righi) at near perfect, with just one question wrong on the test. For those who are not familiar with the contest, Wordwright is a national literary analysis competition in which students answer very challenging questions about a text's meaning and style. In the December meet, over 65,000 students entered the contest nationally. Please congratulate all these students when you see them, as well as their teachers: Mr. Brown, Mr. Lundberg, Ms. Lee-Chin, and Mr. Hessert! And thanks to everyone who participated in this formidable event.
Maine East English classes are in the midst of Poetry Out Loud, a national poetry recitation contest supported by The Poetry Foundation. Each participating English class will send one student winner to the school-wide contest, which will be held on Monday, February 12th in room 230 from 6-8 pm. Please come out and cheer for Maine East's top performers!
