Electives Put on a Great Show

On Friday, March 1st, we hosted our first ever BHS Electives Showcase in Hodges Theater. The event drew curious parents and students in grades 4 and up who came to see our middle schoolers share their learning – and enthusiasm – for their electives’ classes. The showcase started with a screening of movie trailers by students, followed by a performance by the Mock Trial team. Guests then visited stations and experienced impressive projects on display by the Robotics, Sculpture Workshop, Fiber Arts, Shield, and the Drama classes and then stepped outside for a demonstration by the Coaching elective.

 

Here’s Ava K. talking about her experience in the Fiber Arts elective:

 

"We do crochet on our first week, then move on to embroidery and knitting. We made all kinds of cute art projects and worked very hard on them and we are all very proud of our work. Somebody knitted a basketball court with little players. A lot of students made crochet projects, too. I made a water lily that I embroidered that I think worked out well. I had to learn different kinds of stitching and it was the first time for me so it was a bit hard. But I did end up learning a lot. This is a wonderful elective to improve your creativity and I really enjoyed it."

Our community had another opportunity to see the students' work at the second Electives Showcase in May.
