These 4 students Gabe Farkas, Gianni Mastrostefano, Jabin Bull and Bhavani Devineni recently represented Fairview High School at the PMEA District 2 Jazz festival at Corry High on February 13th -14th. The students had to successfully audition in November in order to attend the festival. These 4 students placed high enough in their auditions, giving them the opportunity to attend and work with other top musicians in the style of Jazz.
So what is all the hype about?
Planets in “alignment”.
The planets in this model have been positioned to mimic how the real planets are arranged in space in our solar system. See how they are all on the same side of the Sun.
So when the Sun sets, this allows all of the planets to be visible in our dark evening sky.
They are not literally in a line, but they are all visible on one side of the Sun after sunset.
Think positively for clear evening skies over the next few days/weeks so we can have opportunities to view this once in a lifetime (or once in millennia) spectacular sight.

Today 7th and 8th grade gifted students participated in the Four Seasons of STEM program conducted by the Regional Science Consortium. Students learned how to document shipwrecks by taking measurements used to triangulate and accurately plot points of a shipwreck. They also used grid drawings to recreate diagrams of shipwrecks. The highlight of the day was when they learned to snorkel and SCUBA dive from the instructors of Diver's World in Erie.
