And
welcome
to
the
Anne
Arundel
County
Public
Schools,
digest
bringing
you
news
about
the
people
and
programs
of
n
Arundel
County
Public
Schools.
An
impressive
group
of
the
county's
best
young
inventive
minds
recently
showed
off
their
abilities
at
the
48th
annual
Anne
Arundel
County
Regional
Science
and
Engineering
Fair
held
at
south
river
high
school,
with
participation
for
the
fair
on
the
rise.
It
is
clear
the
county
has
scientific
talent
to
spare

Three
students
will
receive
a
significant
financial
contribution
to
attend
the
International,
Science
and
Engineering
Fair
in
May
in
Pittsburgh,
where
millions
of
dollars
in
prizes
are
awarded.
A
team
of
students
from
Germantown
elementary
school
recently
took
their
studies
to
another
level
by
participating
in
the
well-respected
Destination
ImagiNation
program
as
one
of
the
counties,
International
Baccalaureate
primary
use
program
sites,
the
school's
global
humanitarian
perspective,
aligns
with
destination
imaginations
mission
to
inspire
young
learners
to
take
diverse
and
creative
approaches
to
problem-solving.
At.
G

1999
destination
imagination
has
motivated
more
than
1
million
young
innovators
across
the
world.
Three
County
students
were
recently
honored
for
their
visual
arts
count
as
governor
Larry
Hogan
Maryland.
First
lady
Hogan
and
comptroller
Peter
Franchot
celebrated
their
Maryland
Masters
award-winning
artwork.
The.
J
Future,
the
state's
economy
is
dependent
upon
merging
technology
with
creativity.
This
is
the
creative
component,
and
these
young
artists
are
so
talented.
I
believe
that
they'll
be
called
on
in
the
future
economy
of
the
state
to
be
full-fledged
participants.
They
could
be
artists
in
and
of
themselves,
but
I
think
there'll
be
major
players
in
the
economy.
So
it's
a
recognition
of
their
talent.
It's.
K
B
On
the
notion
that
thriving
economic
growth
and
bustling
arts
and
culture
are
often
intertwined,
the
Comptroller
presented
the
awards
to
chavela
belle
of
glen
burnie
high
school,
be
divining
of
Severn,
River
middle
school
and
Gannon
cope
of
Broadneck
elementary
school
to
celebrate
Maryland's
achievements
and
innovations
through
the
Arts.
During
the
ceremony,
the
comptroller
discussed
the
importance
of
arts
education.
Well,
it.
L
M
N
Workshop,
we
have
a
high
school
student,
a
middle
school
student
and
an
elementary
school
student,
all
working
together
on
the
same
project
so
like
that
that
rich
vertical
teaming,
so
that
the
that
allows
the
high
school
kids
to
show
that
they
actually
have
learned
some
German
and
then
the
younger
kids,
like
that
they
can
understand
it
and
they
can
be
successful.
In
speaking
German
to
this.
O
Kind
of
combination
of
two
different
fields
of
stem
and
then
also
German,
it's
pretty
amazing
I
mean
I've,
never
seen
anything
like
it
and
it
really
is
crossing
boundaries
in
science
because
it
in
science.
You
have
to
be
able
to
communicate
with
your
peers
and
German
is
really
opening
that
possibility
and
when
you
have
that
possibility
of
communicating
with
your
peers
more
effectively
and
talking
to
more
people
about
your
science.
That's
when
true
innovation
happens.
The.
B
Event
was
a
successful
collaboration
between
overlooked
elementary
school
lindale
middle
school,
north
county
high
school,
the
johns
hopkins
university
and
the
vaulty
german
language
village.
The
vault
see
german
language
village
annually
awards
to
north
county
high
school
students
scholarships
to
study
german
in
the
summer.
We.
A
Partner
with
schools
to
tell
people
about
the
program
have
kids
come
join
us
in
the
summer.
It's
a
way
to
enhance
their
german
beyond
the
school
learning
for
kids,
who
don't
take
german
at
school.
It's
a
way
to
learn
in
the
summer
and
we're
really
pleased
to
offer
two
scholarships
to
north
county
high
school
and
the
stem
program
here,
combined
with
german
to
our
stem
german
immersion
program.
A
So
high
school
kids
come
from
around
the
country
and
in
four
weeks
at
our
program
they
get
the
equivalent
of
years
worth
of
german
and
it's
all
using
stem
skills,
so
science
hands
on
science,
project
engineering
technology
math
the
way
the
Germans
speak,
math
and
it
by
four
weeks
in
our
programs
a
whole
years
worth
of
German.
When.
P
B
The
weight
of
the
heroin
epidemic
affecting
our
community,
nearly
800
teens
from
eight
County
high
schools,
were
recently
inspired
by
former
National
Basketball
Association
player,
Chris
Herren,
who
spoke
about
his
life,
his
career
and
the
damage
done
by
his
own
addiction
to
alcohol
and
drugs,
including
heroin.
Try.
P
Q
Like
drugs
are
like
a
problem
everywhere
around
the
like
in
the
country,
some
other
places,
because
people
get
hooked
on
to
it,
they
can
really
lives
like
the
story
about
to
listen
to
he
ruined
his
life.
He
is
going
he's,
gonna,
be
a
big
man,
and
now
he's
now
he's
back
in
like
on
the
bottom,
because
of
a
drug
through.
R
S
P
Final
moment,
my
last
day
that
that
I
used
someone
told
me
to
play
dead.
You
know
they
said.
I
should
walk
away
from
my
kids
and
and
pretend
that
that
I
had
died.
So
so
they
could
live.
Sacrifice
myself,
but
you
know
rock
bottom
is:
is
it
can
be
at
any
time
and
and
I
wish?
I
didn't
wait
so
long
before
before
I
recognize
that
the.
B
Event
was
made
possible
by
the
financial
and
conscious
efforts
of
high
school
principals,
Jason
Williams
of
Northeast
High,
School
and
Jim,
tired
of
old
mill
high
school,
who
are
determined
to
have
a
meaningful
impact
on
the
lives
and
futures
of
young
people
beyond
the
classroom.
United
States
criteria
of
Education
Arne
Duncan,
in
conjunction
with
the
National
Parent
Teacher
Association,
recently
hosted
a
town
hall
meeting
with
a
cadre
of
County
parents
and
educators.
All.
T
Of
us,
as
taxpayers,
have
an
educational
and
a
financial
I
would
say
a
moral
responsibility
to
make
sure
our
dollars
in
making
a
difference.
Are
we
closing
achievement
gaps
or
are
we
not?
Are
we
raising
the
bar?
Are
we
not
are
less
students
needing
remedial
classes?
Are
they
not?
If
we
can't
answer
those
questions,
if
it
just
sort
of
left
to
to
you
know,
goodwill
or
our
hope,
I
think
our
kids
in
our
country
deserves
something
better
than
that,
while.
