An aspiring engineer, BHS senior Max Burtis describes his ELO; “I have been visiting various technology and inno- vation companies in Brunswick Landing, spending one day interviewing the company or startup and the next day doing a job shadow/tour of the facility. Most of my visits take place at TechPlace at Brunswick Landing, an incubator for budding tech companies in the area. I chose to pursue this learning opportunity because I want to get a better under- standing of engineering and entrepreneurial endeavors, which is what I want to focus on in college. I want to see real world applications of my major, mechanical engineering, to deter- mine if it is the right field to study and to determine if I will enjoy working in the field after I graduate college.” The Memory Project is a charitable nonprofit organization that invites art teachers and their students to create and donate portraits to youth around the world who have faced substantial challenges, such as violence, disasters, extreme pover- ty, neglect, and loss of parents. Student Testamonial: “We want the portraits to help the children feel val- ued and important, to know that many people care about their well being, and to act as meaningful pieces of personal history in the future. For the art students, we want this to be an opportunity to creatively practice kind- ness and global awareness.” Jennie Driscoll, Advisor, BHS National Art Honor Society: “I am amazed at how excited the student artists are that participate in this project. This experience allows them to create a gift for another child by using their artis- tic skills and they are happy to help.” PRINCIPAL’S CORNER — Shanna Crofton As many of you may already know, I am moving to the district office at the end of this academic year to take on the role of Curriculum Coordi- nator. My focus will be on K-12 curriculum, assessment, instruction and professional development. My husband and I are welcoming our second child in June. This new position will allow me to spend more time with family while continuing to provide me with professional challenge and growth. It is an exciting opportunity, which I am very much looking forward to. That being said, I have really enjoyed my four years as Principal of BHS and will miss being in the building every day. I have had the opportu- nity to work with an incredibly strong group of faculty, staff and administrators. And the students at BHS are wonderful – I will miss my daily interactions with them in the halls, but plan to be back in the building as much as possible. I would like to thank the community for your incredible support during my years at BHS and I look forward to continuing to work with all of you in my new role. Remember to visit our website to keep up to date on BHS activities. This is a busy time of year and there are a lot of great events coming up this spring.
