Spring 2015 Intern Introduction


Hello all!

My name is Simone Schmid. I am a sophomore at Dartmouth College, and I will be the SEAD intern during the spring at BCSM. I am from Kansas City, Missouri, but I have relatives who live in both the Bronx and Queens. So, I have been around the city a few times. On campus, I am involved in activities ranging from a Bible study group to club volleyball to tutoring at local elementary schools. I will be majoring in Neuroscience and Spanish. Education has also been a priority of mine because student progression and growth are so important for the future.

I am really looking forward to getting to know you, to establishing positive academic and social practices, to setting short and long-term goals with students, and to preparing the students for the end of high school and the possibilities beyond it. 

I will be formally starting on April 13th after spring break. During the spring, some possible activities include going to the movies, doing group dinners, and going on college visits. In order to keep you updated of you all updated, I will be writing posts in this blog. In addition to this communication about events, I am committed to staying in contact with you as well as your student’s guidance counselors and teachers in order to ensure student success.

Looking to the near future, the SEAD program will be hosting a dinner on Monday, April 27th from 6:00PM. The location is still to be determined. It would be great to see many of you in attendance!

During my time at BCSM, I will be stationed in the College Office with Ms. Henriquez and Mr. Kurz, and I will be available through the school day. Please feel free to contact me with concerns about activities, academics, and post-high school plans at any time. I can be reached by email during the school day or by cell phone any other time.

I am looking forward to being a part of the continuing progress that Erika and Sarah have started this year. I can’t wait to see the success of your student!

SEADlove,

Simone Schmid
