A message from Kevin Baas:
“The bike was entered in the professional builders Open Class and took first place honors. I am proud of the students hard work and as always the show was a great way to promote the good things going on in Bloomington schools.”

Mr Baas brought his 1947 Harley Antique chopper to school for a class exploration. Students with the 1939 Harley owned by Mr Baas This is the 1958 Harley Mr Baas owns brought in for the students to study This is Mr Baas's 1947 Harley Davidson Knucklehead motorcycle Andee and Omar finishing the 2011/2012 build

The new school year is under way and we are wrapping up Trimester 1 already.  This first tri was very successful as the students creativity has been put to the test as they created many cool and unique parts for the class built bikes.  Our group teams have been working hard to get the bikes ready for the Donnie Smith Invitational bike show this march at the Excel Energy Center.  Included in our normal class of guys this year was the awsome addition to four creative and talented female students!  Kelsey, Andee, Justine, and Amy are doing a great job ladies, we look forward to seeing how your bikes turn out at the show!!
