March Madness was set up as a double elimination competition with classes going head-to-head against one another to see who could read the most at home. The Clausen Wolverines (kindergarten) and Leishman Zappers (3rd grade) competed for the championship, with the Wolverines coming out on top. Both classes shared a lunch of Godfather’s pizza and a visit from Creighton basketball players Austin Chatman, Isaiah Zierden and Will Artino.
Students submitted designs based on the four shoe themes: Art, Local Flavor, Action Sports, and Music. Designs by Vince Hartline, Taylar King, and Killian Roehr were chosen as the winners. Designs were tweaked and four art students were chosen to transfer them to the shoes. Vince, Destinie Bradberry, Heather Remm, and Zane Fickbohm worked extremely hard designing, creating, and applying the art to the physical pairs of shoes.
Jim Shields was kind enough to lend us his photography expertise to take photos of the shoes. Please view the attached images, which were submitted for the competition. In addition to the photos, we made a 1-2 minute video, thanks to Jake Polesky and Hannah Nieto. When you see these students, please congratulate them on their hard work and dedication.
On April 24th we will find out if we made it into the top 10 schools in our region. Wish us luck.
The shoes are on display across from the high school office in our glass display case.
