The K-3 campus of Bella Romero has a lot going on right now. One of their best projects is their mural. The school has decided to paint a mural in one of their hallways to remind students that no matter what Bella's family is their family. We talked to the K-3 art teacher to ask him about this project.
A mural is a piece of art applied on a wall. Murals date from around Upper Paleolithic times. Many famous artists have made many murals. Among the famous artists are Diego Rivera, David Siqueiros, and Jose Orozco. Murals have become a very good way to express yourself.
"The idea came from Mr.U who thought it would be a good idea to have a mural." Mr. Archibald only had a group of kids that did the mural. Like the leadership team only got to do the mural so it was really cool that those kids got to do the mural. "It's just a reminder that no matter what the students go through at home, this is their home." Mr Archibald says.
The students on the leadership team were really excited about this too. "It's fun because we get to paint the mural." Brenda from the class of 2024 said. The leadership team is the team in charge of painting. The leadership team is a team of students chosen by teachers.
This mural is going to take a few years to complete. Every part is going to be done by a different kid and a different color.

Families. We all have them! Did you know that instruments belong to families, too? Well, there are many families in the music world, including the string family, the percussion family, the woodwind family, and the brass family.
The class of 2021 has been working hard to learn to play the brass and woodwind instruments so they can travel and perform for others/ They want to show how hard they have worked and how great and fun music can be!
Three popular members of the brass family are the trombone, trumpet, and the french horn. The three most popular instruments from the woodwind family are the clarinet, saxophone, and the flute. Miss Dodson, the music teacher at Bella Romero Academy 4-8 campus, has done a great job with her students and has helped them create a successful Brass/Woodwind Traveling Band!
Mrs. Dodson said that she loves being a teacher at Bella Romero. She also says that her students are smart and talented. She also feels very lucky to make music with Bella Romero's family.
Making music can be difficult sometimes and you need to stay motivated to improve! She said that all instruments are hard to play if you don't realize that all songs have patterns.
We heard teachers talking about how good they were so we went to see them ourselves to hear them play before the interview. They were awesome! The song the band played for us was Hot Cross Buns, one the many songs they practice to perform. Their teamwork was the interesting thing about the students. They really had to work hard to perform together!
They started their traveling at 2:00 on the 18th of February thru the 25th of February. Mrs. Dodson says that music is a tradition and she wanted to preserve that tradition. So she wants all younger people to learn to play music because she believes it makes there life's better.
Music is a tradition at Bella Romero Academy and always will be.

Tri star is a really fun basketball competition that gives you an opportunity to compete against other students to go compete and the Pepsi center.
The point for this competition is to just have fun and ball up!! This year many students competed and only a few made it to the Z competition. The third one will be held at the Pepsi center competeing. If you make it,you get to tour around the Pepsi center and you also get 50% of a ticket for the Denver Nuggets game.
The stations were easy. All you had to do was shoot 4 free throws, dribble the ball around some cones as fast as they can. The third one was when you have to pass the ball but instead of passing it to a person you have to hit a target.
In conclusion Tri-Star is a really enjoyable competition people can try for fun. Tri-star is only a once in a year life-time!! Therefore tri-star is really fun, you should try yourself.
The newest technology in the school
In Bella Romero, we have lots of new technology. For example, the new 3D printer and the virtual reality goggles. This new technology has made many sorts of stuff thanks to the robotics printing team. Like robot toys, phone cases, and dog tags. "The 3D printer is sick!" Says Aron Vega. The 3D printer that they use is Makerbot.
They also build robots In the class. They build robots with Lego mindstorm and vex robot maker. And with the virtual reality goggles they can turn specific apps into 3D! The 3D printer even printed virtual reality goggles. The robots they made are unique because the are able to bend their joints and they had even made a monkey! The company Makerbot has made custom home 3D printer. Makerbot has made four different 3D printers. The link is http://www.makerbot.com.
As you can see, robotics is a interesting class. In the class, we have learned that they make robots, virtual reality, and things made with the 3D printer. As you can see the 3D printer is amazing technology. So therefore this were some of the new technology we have in our school.
Prints made by the 3D printer team can be found in our East Memorial Learning Lab at the 4-8 Campus.
