One student in particu- lar tried to make a clay peace sign, but when it was in the kiln, another project exploded and de- bris got stuck to her art. "She came up and said, 'something happened'... and I said 'I was going to tell you about that because kilns are very unpredictable and that's part of learning about clay,'" Jaime said.

Book fair Continued from page B-1 The students used their theme to transform the library into a spooky graveyard. "They wanted to turn the library into a grave- yard with tombstones and it was right before Halloween," Roaf said. "To make it more interac- tive for the students, they were required to pick a scary book and read the book." Because an after- school program is tech- nicaUy an intermural program, the students were required to do mini book reports and profile a character from their book, then become that character during the fair. The students also or- ganized several contests, including one that re- quired their teachers to dress up as zombies and perform Michael Jack- son's "Thriller" dance if they raised more than $2,500. The fair raised $3,400, 60 percent of which the school gets to keep, in ad- dition to the $1,000 prize. According to Roar, the performance of "Thriller" was a great reward for all of the students' hard work. "It's hilarious," Roaf said. "We're trying to see how many YouTube hits we can get."
