Spartan Spotlight Volume 48; Issue 7 March 2018

Dear BRHS,

I hope everyone had a good spring break. We had some groups traveling to different areas, and all had good trips. We come back to the last week of the 4th quarter. Please check your child’s 3rd quarter grades in ParentVue on April 18. We are hosting many students from around the world at the annual International Youth Leadership Summit on April 9. Please come out and see the Spring Musical April 12-14.

Spring sports are in full swing, and it seems like there is something every night. The weather will be warmer soon.

In May we will conduct AP testing and SOL testing. Please check our school web site for schedules.

Importantly, make sure your course requests for 2018-2019 are in and accurate! I will be make staffing and course offering decisions this month. If yours are not accurate, you may not get the classes you want.

Regards,

David Spage

Club Activities

The Key Club hosted their annual Service Fair at Broad Run on March 13th. Key Clubbers gathered to-gether, performing various acts of service which all positively benefit our com-munity. Many service sta-tions were set up with sup-plies, and members were encouraged to participate in all of them. Key Clubbers made trail mix for the homeless in DC, created bracelets and cards for kids of Loudoun INMED Partnerships for Children, made origami cranes for the victims in Parkland, Florida, and used old Key Club t-shirts to make dog toys for local dog shelters and reusable t-shirt bags! In addition, Key Club teamed up with Thirst Pro-ject to dominate the global water crisis. Key Clubbers raised over $420 in their ‘Thirsty 30’ fundraiser for clean water projects in Swaziland!

Key Club

Days for Girls is an organization that direct-ly affects women in villages in Africa who do not have access to menstrual pads. This organization makes reusable cloth pads and teaches about the female reproductive or-gans and that rape is not okay. In the end, this organization helps many girls by allow-ing them to go to school after they have started their period, and teaches them about their bodies.
