Camp Rising Sun

Soon we will host presenters from Camp Rising Sun on Tuesday, December 17th at 6:30 p.m. at Kennedy High School in the Media Center. Over the past several years, a number of students from the Bloomington Public Schools have been awarded this prestigious scholarship including Tuan Dinh (KHS), Ebba Wako (JHS) and Isabella Marker (JHS).   Go to this website (http://www.lajf.org/) for information on this extraordinary camp. The camp boasts an international flavor combined with personal development experience.  In addition, there is NO COST to attend this camp for those students who are selected.

Camp Rising Sun is well established, and has been around for over 70 years. Many of the people who have attended the camp have become leaders in their communities and their countries. Camp Rising Sun is looking for students who are intelligent, well-rounded, with outstanding moral character, an appreciation of diversity and individual abilities, a leader amongst their peers, and willing to spend the summer in upstate New York at a camp with 59 other national and international students.

The Gifted and Talented department will take Nobel students to the History Theater on Thursday, February 22nd to see “A Crack in the Sky”.  This will be its world premiere and it features two local playwrights, Harrison David Rivers and Ahmed Ismail Yusuf. The play is described as, “ From Somalia to the U.S.A. 1984.  A young shepherd boy stands in front of his mother to tell her of the decision he has made in the night. He has had enough of the nomadic life, of herding goats and sheep, and is leaving to seek out a better life. With that, he sets off on an adventure that takes him on the road less traveled from Somalia to Minnesota. It’s the epic tale of Ahmed Ismail Yusuf who, inspired by Maya Angelou, discovers the power of the written word.”   For more info go to:  http://www.historytheatre.com/2017-2018/crack-in-the-sky We hope to use this experience to give students exposure to local authors.  We plan to follow up on this field trip by me...
