Endeavor Middle School band students received 36 new instruments this fall.
The music is alive and well at Endeavor Middle School this year thanks to a grant from cable music station VH1. The station selected New Haven Community Schools for a “Save The Music” grant last year and the district was able to purchase 36 new instruments for its middle school band students. Like a scene out of The Music Man, trombones, saxophones, clarinets, flutes and trumpets were handed into the waiting hands of aspiring musicians this fall. “New Haven expanded band and choir to the high school this year,” said Don Hibbert, band and choir teacher at both the middle school and high school, in a prepared statement. “Many of the instruments used last year at Endeavour were borrowed from the high school.

The latest tool supporting New Haven Community Schools' alternative energy curriculum is the 60-foot wind turbine that was installed behind Endeavor Middle School Tuesday afternoon.
Amid applause, whistles and shouts of "turn, turn, turn" by one very enthused New Haven student, Endeavor Middle School's new 60-foot wind turbine was raised into place Tuesday afternoon.

The 60-foot wind turbine is one of several elements New Haven Community Schools is using to implement its new alternative energy curriculum.
If all goes according to plan, a 60-foot wind turbine will be in place behind Endeavor Middle School by the time school lets out this afternoon. This turbine is part of New Haven Community Schools' new K-12 alternative energy curriculum, which includes the use of biodiesel fuel in its school buses and study of solar panels at the elementary level. “We have been pursuing a K-12 alternative energy curriculum for about a year, and have been working with group called Energy Works Michigan on both the technical and financial aspects,” said Keith Wunderlich, New Haven superintendent, in a March 2012 interview with Patch. Studying bio-fuels at the high school level and solar energy in elementary, middle school students and teachers have been …
