On Wednesday night the Orioles welcomed Union City to the Coolest Gym in Michigan! In the first quarter of play Quincy got everyone on the floor involved! The spark came from a Johnny Bassage fast break layup and a big 3 point basket from Jaxon Jennings! Five separate Orioles scored in the first taking the lead into the second quarter up 11-3.

Quincy made adjustments at halftime and the boys responded! The Orioles came out firing on all cylinders scoring 16 points in the quarter, from five different players. Defensively the boys ramped it up and got to work, holding the Charger scoreless in the third quarter. At the end of the third quarter the score was in Quincy's favor, 31-7. The fourth quarter saw a huge basket by Quincy's own Noah Drumm to cap off an Orioles victory! The final score Quincy 35 Union City 11.

The QMS Youth in Government team wrapped up a busy few days in Lansing today. After a couple months of preparation, they represented QMS very well! David M. got his bill passed and signed into law by the High School Youth Governor. Along with that, Izzy B. and Neveah C. got BOTH of their dual-sponsored bills signed into law. As an additional highlight, Easton S. was recognized as Outstanding Senator. Perhaps the best achievement, however, was being recognized by numerous other advisors as "such a great group of kids." We couldn't have done this without our wonderful group of sponsors, which helped cover the additional cost for our students this year. Thank you and Go Q!

The 7th grade Orioles made the long trip to Springport on Monday night to take on the Spartans. Quincy came out with high intensity on defense, which helped initiate the fast break for easy buckets. Talon Thomas, Kye Dirschell, and Brody Murphy sparked the first half in terms of scoring. Quincy ended the first with a 18-2 lead. The Orioles did not slow down in the second quarter, moving the ball up the floor quickly and finding open teammates. In the second quarter four different Orioles scored baskets to keep pushing the lead going into half up 32-8. Coming out of half Quincy's offense went cold for a few minutes until Davin Musielewicz drained a 3 pointer to give the team some needed energy. After three quarters of play the Orioles were up 38-12. In the fourth quarter the gym exploded with roar after Myles Beaudin knocked down a 3 pointer while the time was winding down!

The QMS Quiz Bowl teams competed today in the Big 8 Quiz Bowl. All three of our 8th grade teams performed well, with one of our teams taking 3rd. Only three points separated 1st and 3rd places. Congrats to Olivia, Haley, Madison, and Jayden! It's been a team effort of pushing each other in practice, so all three teams deserve credit!
Also, our 1-man 7th grade team took second. Way to go, Easton!
In 8th grade science, we have been investigating how force affects the velocity of objects with different masses. We love those hands-on opportunities!
On Tuesday November 4th, six Quincy band members travelled to Marshall High School to participate in MSBOA District XI Honor Band. These students were chosen as a select few from schools in St. Joseph, Branch, and Calhoun counties. They performed three concert band pieces at an evening concert after multiple rehearsals all day. They did a wonderful job representing Quincy and improving their musical performance! Congratulations!
Would you like to enjoy some delicious cheese curds (or other Culver's deliciousness), AND support the QMS Youth in Government kids raising funds to replace a grant that was removed from this year's state budget? Come enjoy dinner, or a dessert, between 5:00-8:00 on Monday night. Our kids will be there to help serve and help however they can. 15% of all profits go to our students and will help cover the extra $200 they each have to cover this year. Thank you!
Preston Farms helped our 5th graders today by supplying local feed options for their farm stock. This helped our students in studying properties of different substances and how those properties can be useful in science. Thank you Preston Farms!
QMS has some new friends in the Gun Lake area, namely Ms. Mina and Ms. Dot, who made the drive today to donate over 20 bags of plastic lids for our project of turning lids into park benches.
