On Thursday, January 11th @ 1 pm I'm hosting a college panel on Zoom for DA students. I normally offer this in person during the school day but this year I'm doing it on line. The speakers are all Bloomington grads who attended college in person (this was a little trickier this year) and who will speak to the following topics:-PSEO v. high school-how they choose their college-what they think/thought about their college-how they selected a major-advice they have for you
I have asked the following students because they represent a rage of types of schools and experiences:Harry Fronk - U of M Henry Weisman - CarletonAlexa Groenke - U of C Berkeley Jess Wachtler - Wesleyan Connor Meany - Stanford
Topic: College Panel with BPS Graduates
Time: Jan 7, 2021 01:00 PM Central Time (US and Canada)

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...
