 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.

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, The National Endowment for the Arts, Blick Art Materials & Utrecht Art Supplies, 3D Systems, The Gedenk Movement, Golden Artist Colors, Bloomberg L.P., Amazon.com, the Bernstein Family Foundation, Jacques and Natasha Gelman Trust, the New York City Department of Cultural Affairs, Duck Tape® and additional contributions from numerous other individual, foundation and corporate funders. The Art.Write.Now exhibition and accompanying public programs are co-sponsored by the Sheila C. Johnson Design Center at Parsons the New School for Design.

 

In New Hampshire, the following students will be honored nationally:

 

Leanne Baratier – grade 12 – Coe-Brown Northwood Academy – Scott Chatfield, art educator. Drawing – Duality – Silver Medal Award.

 

Emily Chase – grade 10, Prospect Mountain High School – Jesse Robidas, art educator - Painting – Winters Night – Silver Medal Award.

The first level of recognition for these students’ outstanding work took place through The Scholastic Art Awards of New Hampshire- Administered by the New Hampshire Art Educators’ Association, one of 115 affiliate organizations nationwide that, in partnership with the Alliance, conduct The Scholastic Art & Writing Awards for the state of NH. Regionally, five panels of judges awarded 234 Gold Key awards, 270 Silver Key awards and 306 Honorable Mentions. An exhibit of 700+ pieces of award winning art by NH students was displayed in the lobby of Pinkerton Academy’s Stockbridge Theatre, Derry, NH in January 21- and February 1. On February 1st our NH student artists were recognized during ceremonies in the Stockbridge Theatre.

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.
