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
