Experience
8th Grade Animal Science Classes
were introduced to the process of
milking a cow. Along with mastering
the technique, students learned that
milking cows need to be milked at the
same time every day, twice a day.
Though most farms today have expensive milking machines, the students
enjoyed the hands-on experience.

River Bluff Solo/Ensemble Festival
The River Bluff Solo and Ensemble Festival will take place Saturday, March 7th. This annual event
involves 6-8th grade choir, orchestra, and band students as well as any interested River Bluff students
who play piano. Students perform a solo or small ensemble piece in front of a judge and receive constructive feedback on their performance. The festival is an all day event with performances happening
in several locations around the main floor of River Bluff.
Families are welcomed to attend their child's performance. Solo and ensemble schedules will be sent
out to music students in the next two weeks. Music students are working hard on their solo and ensemble pieces and are looking forward to the upcoming festival!
Happy Birthday, Dr. Seuss!

River Bluff Swimming Program
The Stoughton Area School District athletic programs are offering a competitive experience in swimming for middle school participants. Students who enjoy swimming may wish to consider participating
in this program to find out what competitive swimming in high school will be like. Each participant
should know the basics of freestyle and backstroke and should be able to swim 25 yards of each. The
program will give participants the understanding of the four competitive strokes, turns for those strokes,
and using the starting blocks for each of the starts. Participants will swim with a qualified coach .
The program will run from March 16-20 after school at the High School pool. Students should listen to
announcements for an upcoming meeting (to be held during the lunch period). Interested students can
also pick up a form in the River Bluff office or by seeing Mrs. Braund.
