Got 20 minutes? Check out this video.

On May 20th, 2012, as part of a class project, over 100 Waunakee High School Mass Media students—in conjunction with 44 school clubs, organizations, sports, and numerous extras—combined forces to lip sync five different songs along a route of over half a mile within the school, nonstop, in a single take. Approximately 400 students took part in the nearly 20-minute video which is believed to be one of the longest lip dubs in recorded history.

Great job to everyone involved. What a great way to demonstrate our cooperative spirit and talented student body!

Enjoyed My Book Club Friends

I really enjoyed the time I spent this past school year with my fellow book club members from Mrs. Schadeberg's Third Grade Class at Prairie Elementary School. Truth be told, it was hard for me to keep up with the pace at which these awesome students could read. Major kudos goes out to Mrs. Shadeberg and all of her students for the fun way in which they work with the community and enjoy reading all at the same time.
