Welcome to the fourth and final quarter. With Spring on the way (March 20), this school year will be over in the blink of an eye.
First off, the Spring musical is here with opening night this Thursday. The show will conclude on Saturday evening. Everyone involved has put so much time and effort into this production, and we hope that the auditorium is packed.
Next on the agenda, the Brooklyn City Schools will hold Community Coffee Chats with Superintendent Dr. Caleris on March 25, April 26, and May 3. At these chats, Dr. Caleris will answer questions and discuss the district’s Master Facility Plans, which include renovations to the high school gymnasium, the band room, the auditorium, and the science wings. A tour of the school will also be provided during these sessions.
Moving on, this past Friday, the eighth grade Robotics class attended The Polaris Palooza. Two events, Mad Grab and Dragster, were held. In Mad Grab, this is where students had to build remote-controlled robots that competed in a head-to-head contest to scoop up balls of various sizes; they also had to place them in different-sized containers. In Dragster, students were tasked to build a robotic car scored on how far and how accurately the car drives.
The Brooklyn eighth graders did well in a tough field of entrants including Berea-Midpark, Strongsville, North Olmsted, Olmsted Falls, and Fairview. Brooklyn took fourth and fifth place in the Mad Grab event, which featured 16 teams. They also placed fourth in the Dragster competition, which had 26 entries.
Alex Cowper, Brandon Ban, Morgan Cummings, Amira Boukenken, Jacob Perry, Izayden Delargy, EJ Velez, Bao Vo, Evander Johnson, and Christian Garcia were the members of the robotics team. Congratulations to everyone involved.
Finally, here is the late March/Early April schedule:
- March 20-22: Drama Club’s Production of The Wizard of Oz
- March 24-April 4: Europe Trip (Italy and Greece)
- March 25-27: Grade Level Meetings and Attendance Ceremonies
- March 31-April 4: Spring Break
Have a wonderful week, Brooklyn. Stay focused and start off the quarter in fine-fashion.
