Olivia L’Ecuyer Winner of the January Chromebook Background Design Contest!

Fairbury Jr. Sr. High School had its first ever Chromebook Background Design Contest in December. We had such a great response that we opened it up again for January submissions.

It was narrowed down to the top 10 designs. This is the design that won by an overall staff vote. Voting was completely anonymous, staff could only see the design but not who created it.

Congratulations to Olivia L’Ecuyer, Junior, on being selected! Great work Olivia!!

Students Take Virtual Field Trips to Learn About WW2

As a part of their English unit on The Human Connection, sophomores read several pieces that take place during WW2. These pieces include works such as The Book Thief and Night. Both of these pieces require understanding the impact and events of this moment in world history. In order to build background information students were able to explore places like the United States Holocaust Museum, the Auschwitz-Birkenau concentration camp site, and the Anne Frank house using Meta Quest VR headsets. This technology allowed students to view these locations in a 360, interactive view.
