Public School Volunteer Week
Public School Volunteer Week, April 22-26, 2019, provides a yearly opportunity for schools and families to honor the dedicated volunteers whose contributions support student success. To the parents, grandparents, and community members whose experience, expertise, and passion make a difference in the lives of children each and every day, we say “thank you” for all that you do. These individuals truly embody the motto, “Teaching Everyone Takes Everyone.”
Congress-Bundestag Scholarship
Miranda Smith (BHS) has earned a full scholarship to study in Germany for 10 months as a Congress-Bundestag Scholar. Created in 1983, the Congress-Bundestag Youth Exchange (CBYX) was developed by the U.S. Congress and the German Bundestag to strengthen ties between Germany and the United States through citizen diplomacy. Sponsored by the U.S. State Department, the CBYX is for motivated high school students who want to experience a culture and learn a language through a full immersion experience. The exchange year, valued at over $10,000, includes placement with a German host family, admission to a German high school, pre-departure training and orientation programs, meetings with government officials, cultural excursions to the German Bundestag and German cities, and supplementary language lessons. Over 24,000 students have prepared themselves for a global world by participating in the CBYX program. Congratulations to Miranda!
Masonry Winners
Brevard and Rosman students did well in the Land of Sky Masonry Competition held at the Haywood County Fairgrounds on March 15. In Level 1 competition, Braden Mackey (BHS) took first place and Gavyn Rutledge (RHS) took 3rd place. In Level 2 competition, Baxter Swicegood (BHS) won 6th place, Zeb Sweet (BHS) took 7th place, and Marissa Bautista (BHS) won 9th place. To prepare for the competition, students worked during class and after school during open shop building sample projects. Open shop allows students to come in and work for the full 2-3 hour time period that they will experience at the actual competition. It also gives more time for one-on-one instruction. The next competition will be the state SkillsUSA contest in Greensboro on April 9-11. Braden Mackey and Marshall Owens (RHS) will be competing in Level 1 and Marissa Bautista will be competing in Level 2. Congratulations to all the winners!
