Update from the PTA
Kelly Bentley, BRHS parent and IPS school board member, is running for re-election against Derek Redelman, private school parent and charter supporter. If you are willing to display a yard sign for Kelly please email juli@iquest.net and it will be forwarded to Kelly. For thosedisplaying one of her signs, Kelly says “Thank you very much for the support.”
Get to know all the candidates for IPS School Board and to ask questions. April 17th, 7-9 pm, Hosted by the League of Women Voters at North United Methodist Church, 38th and Meridian, AND/OR April 27th, 6-8 pm, Hosted by The Children's Bureau at The American Red Cross building, 10th and Central
As of right now there will NOT be summer gym offered at Broad Ripple. There is summer enrichment being offered at Tech; summer gym is being offered; class sizes are limited. There are two sessions so you could, in theory, get your whole year done in one summer (June 6-July18)... Have your student check with their counselor.
Did you see the Indpls Star insert about the Indpls Star Indiana Academic All Stars? 249 seniors nominated; 40 selected and one was our own, EVA D’AMBROSIO! Eva is also a National Merit Scholarship winner AND an IU Wells Scholar (all expenses paid, all 4 years!). Congratulations Eva! (Eva’s mom wants you to know she’s already written Dr White a letter stating that if these teacher cuts and sports cuts had gone into effect earlier, Eva would never have attended Broad Ripple.) In defense of IPS management, it’s the legislature that has created the $24 million shortfall requiring immense staffing cuts so consider that when its’ election time. You done us proud Eva!
2006 eXcel Awards State Finals:
There were over 7000 entrants and 60 finalists---four out of the sixty. We had the most finalists with New Castle having three recipients after us. Congratulations from the staff and administration!!!!
More senior news -
Eva d’Ambrosio - Indiana University - international relations & business; National Merit Scholarship; Wells Scholar (ALL costs plus stipend!); Indpls Star IN Academic All Star(top 40 students in the state)
Damon Kasberg - IUPUI (see Excel awards above!)
Mike Todd - IU Hutton Honors College - pre dentistry - IN Advancement Scholarship
Graduates news -
VINICIO SANCHEZ, a 2005 BRHS art magnet graduate, is attending IUPUI in bio-medical engineering. He called to invite me to attend the Engineering and Technology Honors banquet with him because he is receiving an award. He is carrying a 3.4 GPA and has had scholarships to pay all his tuition this past year. This is all the more impressive because Vinicio spoke almost no English when he came to BRHS in the fall of 2002. I'd like to thank all those on the staff who helped make this dream a reality for Vinicio.
Submitted by Diane Carter, EMILY TODD has been in Nicaragua the last 2+ years working with a Jesuit program in the slums of Managua. (She works with male gang members and helps to organize the women to march on city hall.) She loves the work and the people. She'll starts a graduate program in the fall of 07.
Julie TODD will be a senior at Wooster next year and been picked to be one of the
student Residence Hall Directors. Most RDs are adults or post grads!
KATIE EYNON-ORR, class of about‘92 has her own dental practice on the northeast side (82nd & Statesman). She lives in the Meridian Kessler neighborhood and is expecting her first child in May. If you need a dentist, here’s your chance!
