Coe-Brown Northwood Academy Students Joe Stevens and Cameron
Whitehouse, both of Strafford, NH, along with CBNA Natural
Resources/Agriculture Instructor Mrs. Sarah Ward, recently attended
a Logger Rescue Workshop in Berlin, NH. Logger Rescue is a workshop
in the Master Logger Certification Program put on by the Trust to
Conserve Northeast Forestlands and the Forester’s Guild. The
workshop is designed to teach loggers, foresters, emergency medical
responders, police, Fish and Game and anyone else who can be
potentially involved in rescuing an injured forest worker. The
course was designed to further educate forest industry workers in
how to become rescuers until the local fire and rescue personnel
arrive on the scene, to protect both the patient and the rescuers
from becoming victims themselves. The workshop provided
participants with the opportunity to participate in outdoor
activities with accident scenarios in which participants were
invited to determine the best way to assist in the “rescue” of the
patient.
CBNA Juniors Accepted Into St. Paul’s
Advanced Studies Program
Coe-Brown Northwood Academy is pleased to announce that juniors
Nicole Durell of Barrington, Molly Gibson of Northwood, Andrew
Lambert of Nottingham and Nicole Jorosian of Northwood have been
accepted into the Advanced Studies Program (ASP) at St. Paul’s
School. These students will spend five and a half weeks immersed in
a college level curriculum and challenged to discover new ways of
learning. The Advanced Studies program was established in 1957 to
provide academically talented New Hampshire public and parochial
high school students with challenging educational opportunities that
would otherwise be unavailable to them. Since its inception, more
than 11,000 students have participated in the program. According to
the Advanced Studies Program website, the program is committed to
educating the whole person and preparing students to make
contributions to a changing and challenging world. ASP defines
education as all of the structured experiences in which students
participate: coursework, athletics, extracurricular activities and
residential life.
The 2014 Scholastic Art & Writing Awards
Honor the Nation’s Most Talented Teen Artists and Writers
The
2014 Scholastic Art & Writing Awards administered by the nonprofit
Alliance for Young Artists & Writers. The Scholastic Art & Writing
Awards, the country’s longest-running and most prestigious award and
recognition program for creative students in grades 7–12. In
addition, all National Award–winning high school seniors are now
eligible to apply for a special pool of more than $8 million in
scholarships, set aside specifically for them through partnerships
with the Alliance and esteemed colleges and universities around the
country.
“The
Scholastic Art & Writing Awards serve as clear validation of young
artists’ and writers’ creative talent, persistence and promise in
their respective fields,” said Virginia McEnerney, Executive
Director of the Alliance for Young Artists & Writers, the
administrator of the Scholastic Awards. “It is our honor to share in
these defining moments of achievement for our nation’s teens and to
elevate their unbelievable talent on the local, regional and
national levels. We see it as a privilege to support them on their
journey to becoming artists, writers, designers, doctors, business
owners or any aspiration they are determined to realize.”
This
program year, a record-breaking 255,000+ works of art and writing
were submitted to more than 100 affiliates of the Alliance for
regional adjudication. Students who received regional Gold and
Silver Keys, as well as Honorable Mentions, have been celebrated in
all corners of the country. More than 100,000 regional Award
recipients’ families and friends gathered at local exhibitions,
ceremonies and readings nationwide to recognize student works
spanning the Scholastic Awards’ ninety one year history.
From
the outstanding pool of regional Gold Key recipients, an impressive
panel of creative-industry experts chose more than 1,800 of the most
talented students—representing 47 U.S. states as well as students in
Washington, D.C. and American schools abroad—to receive national
medals. These artists, authors, critics, educators and skilled
professionals blindly judged works based on originality, technical
skill and the emergence of a personal vision or voice—the original
three criteria of the program’s founding in 1923.
To
celebrate the Scholastic Art & Writing Awards’ national winners, the
Alliance will kick off this year’s National Celebration in New York
City on June 5, 2014 with the first annual Maker Prom—a party with
interactive art-making stations—at the Roosevelt Hotel, as well as
the grand opening of the Art.Write.Now. National Exhibition, a large
selection of Award-winning art and writing that will be on display
at Parsons the New School for Design and the Pratt Manhattan
Gallery. On June 6, 2014, students will be honored during a special
awards ceremony live-webcasted from the world-famous Carnegie Hall,
where they will be joined onstage by this year’s Alumni Achievement
Award Recipient, Kay WalkingStick, whose career retrospective will
open in 2015 at the Smithsonian’s National Museum of the American
Indian. Following the ceremony, the annual Scholastic Art & Writing
Awards Benefit will take place at The Edison Ballroom, and to
further amplify the festivities that evening, the iconic Empire
State Building will be lit in gold.
For 91
years, the Scholastic Art & Writing Awards have fostered the
creativity and talent of millions of students through recognition,
exhibitions, publications and scholarships. Alumni of the Scholastic
Awards have gone on to continue their education at many of the top
colleges and universities across the country, including Maryland
Institute College of Art (MICA), Rhode Island School of Design
(RISD), Parsons The New School for Design, Carnegie Mellon
University, Harvard University and Columbia University. Since its
founding, the Awards program has identified the early promise of
some of our nation’s most exceptional visionaries, including alumni
such as Andy Warhol, Truman Capote, Richard Avedon, Philip
Pearlstein, Sylvia Plath and John Updike, all of whom won when they
were teens. More recently, Stephen King, Myla Goldberg, Zac Posen
and Lena Dunham have become celebrated alumni of the program.
The
Alliance is grateful for its generous sponsors, who provide funds to
support and produce the Awards: Scholastic Inc., The Maurice R.
Robinson Fund, Command Web Offset Co., the Institute of Museum and
Library Services, the President’s Committee on the Arts and the
Humanities, The New York Times, Kramer Levin Naftalis & Frankel LLP,

and problems in society. On NH Law Day NH Defense Attorney,

CBNA Latin II Students Create Collective Book
Coe-Brown Northwood Academy’s Latin II class, led by Magistra Diane
Green and guest bookmaking artist Pat Savage, recently made a
collective twenty page book about features of Ancient Rome including
many architectural, institutional and cultural pillars. Each of the
twenty students created an 11x17 canvas which was a dialogue between
the visual and the narrative. Instruction was provided to bring
depth to the visuals through the use of movable parts, pop-ups and
found objects. The pages were bound together in a book covered with
antique marble paper making it a fitting memorial to the ancients.
In celebration of the completion of the book, students also
participated in a Roman Feast which included prepared food, some
from old Latin recipes. Rice balls, cookie glires, cannolis, dates,
vegetable skewers with olives and artichokes, bruschetta, triple
cheese pizza, gelato and other student-made treats were enjoyed. The
Romans liked to be entertained while they ate and so Latin hangman
was played. After dinner entertainment included “sword fighting” and
table games. The guest of honor Tom Mellar, who was celebrating his
birthday, was adorned with tunic and ivy wreath.
