 | Kites on Ice Students display creations | 
About 2,000 middle school students joined hobbyists from throughout
the state and country to display their work at the first annual Kites
on Ice celebration on Lake Monona in Madison. For many students, the
event combined lessons in mathematics, geometry, social studies and
writing. Hundreds of kites flew over the ice in front of the Monona
Terrace Convention Center and State Capitol, both pictured above. – Photo by Bill Hurley Posted April 5, 1999 |
