Art corner
BY ALEXIS HEALEY
This edition’s featured artist is Rachelle Feldmann (12). Her watercolor painting was supposed to represent her trip to Homosassa, Florida. She was visiting her aunt and found a fish shack. She said that the shack looked old and cool, and she wanted to utilize that in her painting. Although Feldmann is one of Western Dubuque’s skilled art students. She believes that this is not her best piece, as she stated that it took her “about ten minutes.” However, Rachelle truly enjoys art, and, like the piece pictured above, she has produced many great art pieces. In fact, Feldmann plans on becoming involved in art as a future career, such as becoming an art teacher.

From across the ocean

Guten Tag, Niko
Sonntag! Sonntag is a sixteen-year- old boy from southern Germany. He lives
about five minutes from Switzerland and Austria. At first, Sonntag was nervous
to come to America. He didn’t know his host family, and he didn’t get his
information until two weeks before he left to come here. To get ready to come
to America, Sonntag began improving his English and started playing sports. He
played football in the fall and is planning on going out for basketball this
winter. Sonntag says school is very different here; however, he has noticed our
Bobcat spirit. In Germany, his extracurricular activity was sailing. He also
joined a private basketball league, which he enjoyed very much. Sonntag has
been getting used to having a longer school day in America. He says he gets
home later now due to getting out of school later and the activities he
participates in after school. After school, he goes home to his host family,
the Tentis family. They’ve taught him to play games like pool and volleyball.
On Sundays, they have NFL Sunday where they watch all the football games. With
a full year here, Sonntag is looking forward to playing sports, having fun,
being with new people and continuing to better his English. We hope his time at
Western Dubuque School is one to remember.
