Anne
Arundel
County
Board
of
Education
newest
members,
were
recently
sworn
in
at
the
county
circuit
court
house
board
members,
Allison
Picard,
Tom,
Frank
and
Julie
Hummer
took
an
oath
of
public
service
before
their
families,
friends
and
colleagues.
Each
is
inspired
and
excited
to
make
an
impact
for
County
students,
I'm.
E
Very
concerned
in
the
county,
with
equity
and
how
all
schools
are
receiving
funds,
how
all
of
our
students
are
receiving
the
same
benefits
that
other
students
have
I
truly
believe
we
can
have
a
national
Blue,
Ribbon
School
in
every
feeder
system.
So
I'd
really
like
to
see
that
come
to
fruition.
I
think.
F
The
thing
that
has
always
been
important
to
me
is
how
kids
are
doing
in
school
and
the
percentage
of
kids
that
graduate
from
high
school
academic
achievement.
That's
been
something
that's
been
important
to
me
and
my
family,
and
it
needs
to
be
something
important
for
Anne,
Arundel,
County
and
I'm,
going
to
do
whatever
I
can
to
see
that
everybody
graduates
from
high
school.
My.

I
B
Veteran
board
members
and
superintendent
of
schools,
George
relato,
were
also
there
to
encourage
the
board's
youngest
member
28
high
school
seniors
and
14
teachers
were
recently
honored
for
their
achievements.
At
the
stem
award
ceremony
held
in
Anne
Arundel
Community
College,
two
students
were
selected
from
each
of
the
12
comprehensive
high
schools
and
two
centers
of
Applied
Technology
for
demonstrating
academic
excellence
in
the
fields
of
science,
technology,
engineering
and
math.
It's.
K
A
special
place
that
Anne
Arundel
County
Public
Schools
gives
a
student
who
excels
in
the
STEM
disciplines
when
they
give
them
the
opportunity,
not
only
to
say
I'm,
proud
of
myself
and
I'll,
go
on
into
great
things
in
life,
but
to
also
look
backwards
and
to
say
thank
you
to
someone
who
helped
them
on
that
journey.
The.
B
Student
winners
distinguished
themselves
throughout
their
high
school
careers
by
excelling
in
STEM,
related
courses
participating
in
co-curricular
activities
and
competing
at
the
local
state
and
national
levels.
It
is
such
a
high
honor
that
even
former
winners
return
to
celebrate
with
their
counterparts
stem.

Winning
the

of
the
Year
award
for
her
unwavering
dedication
to
sharing
her
vast
musical
knowledge
with
the
students

and

those
elementary
schools.
Barbara
Wenger
knock
was
one
of
many
shining
star
celebrated
at
this
year's
volunteer
recognition,
T
hosted
by
the
office
of
school
and
family
partnerships.
You.
N
Know,
as
you
get
older
and
as
you're
a
grandmother
I
think,
rather
than
just
sitting
home
and
doing
nothing,
we
need
to
give
back
our
towns
and
the
children
love
it
and
when
I
don't
show
up
for
maybe
a
day
or
two
because
I'm
up
in
Connecticut,
with
my
other
grandchildren,
they'll
say
to
me
when
they
come
back.
Where
were
you?
Where
were
you?
What
are
you
doing?
You
know
so
I
really
think
it's
important
and
I
think
they
really
look
forward
to
seeing
us
volunteers
in
the
school's.
The.
O
Order
to
really
get
to
our
children
to
reach
a
teach
our
children
we've
got
to
have
volunteers
that
really
helped
us
throughout
the
day
to
really
complete
the
day
with
after-school
programs,
evening
programs
and
coaching
as
well
as
volunteering
in
the
classroom.
So
it
really
is
it's
it's
critical
for
us.
P
Without
volunteers
so
much
work,
we
can
get
done
around
the
schoolhouse
and
certainly
just
their
love
and
care
for
children
and
how
they
give
of
their
of
their
of
their
own,
sometimes
even
their
own
money.
I
have
many
volunteers
who
go
into
their
own
pocketbook
and
buy
things
for
the
school,
so
without
them
a
lot
would
not
get
done
and
we're
certainly
appreciative
of
everything
they
do.
This.
B
School
year
about,
sixteen
thousand
volunteers
gave
more
than
500,000
hours
to
all
120
schools
on
a
ACPs
along
the
same
lines
of
unselfish
giving
avid
students
at
glen
burnie
high
school
recently
decided
to
help
support
their
community
by
holding
an
outreach
event
and
fundraiser
to
feed
ten
thousand
meals
to
those
who
need
them.
One.
Q
Of
the
reasons
that
we're
doing
this
outreach
event
today
is
in
order
to
have
our
students
take
away
the
benefits
of
helping
the
community
and
giving
back
to
their
own.
You
know:
they've
been
coming
to
marley
and
corcoran
and
glen
burnie
high
school
for
years.
Some
of
them
are
going
to
be
graduating
going
off
to
college,
so
we
really
want
them
to
have
the
understanding
that
you
know
it's
really
important
to
give
back
to
their
community
through.
B
R

More
community
news,
Superintendent
of
Schools
Georgia
lotto,
recently
said
at
a
board
meeting
that
we
can't
place
a
value
on
giving
back.
There
is
one
a
ACPs
graduate
Austin
Murdock,
who
is
so
appreciative
of
his
elementary
school
counselor
at
bodkin
elementary
school
that
he
came
back
to
share
his
success
with
the
students
of
bodkin
and
Chesapeake
Bay
middle
school.
Now.
A
We
get
all
the
things
that
we
need
to
be
successful,
but
to
really
develop
that
passion
we
need
to
just
go
beyond
what
we
learn
in
the
classroom.
We
really
worked
hard
to
build
a
community
among
the
students
which
is
just
so
so
important,
working
with
people
who
have
the
same
goals
as
you
is
extremely
powerful.
After.
B
An
exemplary
academic
career
at
Chesapeake,
high
school
Austin
went
on
to
the
Honors
Program
at
the
University
of
Maryland
Baltimore
County
Massachusetts
Institute
of
Technology,
and
is
now
on
his
way
to
the
University
of
California
at
Berkeley.
It
is
a
school
system
tradition
that
spans
decades
for
some
of
the
county's
most
talented
artists
to
have
their
work
showcased
in
large
public
venues.
S
O
You
walk
through
and
you
watch
the
students
and
their
parents
looking
at
their
own
artwork
and
it's
a
chance
for
them
to
display
they're
used
to
having
the
artwork
displayed
in
the
school
in
the
classroom
beyond
the
walls
in
the
in
the
cafeteria
or
along
the
hallways,
but
when
they
can
get
out
here
in
public
and
they
can
see
their
own
artwork
on
display,
it's
very
exciting
for
them,
and
it
really
is
the
wow
factor.
As
I
said
earlier,
to
see
how
really
talented
our
students
are
is
very
exciting.
O
T
B
Exhibit
has
not
only
become
a
display
of
student
work
but
an
example
of
community
partnership
in
a
partnership
with
other
county
departments
and
community
organizations.
The
school
system
recently
hosted
the
third
annual
Hispanic
women's
day
at
the
par
hem
administration,
building,
with
a
purpose
of
educating
and
inspiring
Hispanic
women
to
value
their
health
and
well-being.
Equally,
as
much
as
that
of
their
children,
the
event
theme
was
india,
pata
me
or
a
day
just
for
me.

In
celebration
of
Serrano
Park
Elementary
School
becoming
the
county's
18th
Maryland
blue,
ribbon,
school
of
excellence,
State
Superintendent,
Lillian,
Lowery,
county
superintendent,
droid,
relato
and
other
guests
visited
the
school
to
formally
congratulate
the
school's
talented
students,
dedicated
staff
and
amazing
community
members
who
work
together
to
earn
the
distinction.
We.
V
B
Blue
Ribbon
Schools
program
on
our
schools
that
Excel
are
significantly
improved
in
reading
and
math
exams
as
measured
by
state
assessments.
In
order
to
achieve
Blue
Ribbon
status,
schools
must
meet
standards
established
by
the
Maryland
and
US
Department
of
Education.
The
schools
deliberate
focus
on
rigor
has
led
to
more
than
ninety
eight
percent
of
its
students
scoring
proficient
or
advanced
in
reading
and
math
on
the
2013-14
Maryland
School
assessments.
Such
student
performance
places
the
school
among
the
top
five
percent
in
the
state
a
status
the
school
has
maintained
for
the
last
seven
years
becoming.
O
A
blue
ribbon
school
doesn't
happen
by
chance.
It
really
doesn't,
it
doesn't
just
appear.
It
happens
because
of
hard
work
because
of
hard
work
and
dedication.
Think
about
how
hard
you've
been
working
this
year.
You
work
so
hard
in
the
classroom
to
the
teaching
and
learning
process.
We
are
so
incredibly
proud
of
you.

Anna

Schools
hosted
nearly
40
educators
from
across
the
nation
for
its
teacher
diversity.
Recruitment
weekend
before

event
helps
the
school
system,
build
a
talent
pool
of
teachers
who
can
help
address
its
increasingly
diverse
student
body
and
gives
candidates
a
chance
to
gain
a
better
understanding
of
life
in
the
county,
as
they
consider
positions
with
a
a
CPS.
This.
W
Diversity
weekend
is
an
opportunity
to
show
these
candidates
what
our
district
has
to
offer.
They
get
to
tour.
Our
schools
talk
to
our
teachers,
meet
with
our
administrators
and
learn
about
our
community,
and
it
is
our
hope
that,
at
the
end
of
this
experience,
they
will
decide
that
Anne
Arundel,
County
Public
Schools,
is
exactly
where
they
want
to
be
I've.
