Hi!
We are from Vincennes, Indiana which is located in southwest
Indiana. It is a small river town of about 20,000. Vincennes is the
home of Red Skelton, a comedian who just recently passed away. We are
the country seat of Knox County, and we have lots of historical
landmarks, such as the George Rogers Clark Memorial and the William
Henry Harrison Mansion.
We go to school at George Rogers Clark Middle School. Our school
used to be the old high school, and it is made up of three buildings in
a two block area. We have lots of different types of sports, but our
main one is basketball. Our sports mascot is called the Alice. It
comes from a book titled "Alice of Old Vincennes." We are the only
school that we know about that has this mascot, and we are proud of
it. We also have an academic team, three newspapers, and many other
things. There are over 800 students in our school in grades 6, 7, and
8. Our school day is nine periods that last forty minutes each. The
school day is from 8:05 a.m. until 3:05 p.m. The school year is 180
days.
The class submitting the landmark is a sixth grade G/T English
class. We have three boys and eleven girls. Rebekah, Jeeta, Shannon
H., Shannon W., Lindsey, Sara, Mallory, Emily, Stephany, Andrea,
Crystal, Talmage, Nash, and Ryan are looking forward to solving your
landmarks. Other sixth grade classes will help. Good luck in the game!
Clark Middle School, Vincennes, Indiana
