Week 2

 Hello wonderful people!

This is my first full week since the start of my internship; we had two major holidays last week—Eid and Yom Kippur! 

I’m increasingly falling in love with the school and the community everyday, and I'm very grateful to be here. I mentioned this last week but I have to say again...I adore the eagerness with which the students participate and engage with each other in class; it’s been such a pleasure to be a part of that experience. Some of the students are visiting their prospective colleges and are finally getting to see the undergraduate experience in its most tangible reality! Ariella visited Smith College this past weekend and Safi just returned from participating in the DIVOH program at Amherst. It’s always so delightful to hear about their experiences!

Just a reminder;

There’s a parent’s teacher conference tomorrow from 5-8pm in the Auditorium. Please let your parents know about this.

I’m excited to meet them!

A movie/dinner outing is in the works so stay tuned!

Here's our very own Mr. Rivera doing some math for the SAT in the college office. It's such a joy to see the students being so studious :)

Until next time,

SeadLove

Hello everyone!

So for the past two days, Ive been having 1:1 meetings with the SEAD students and it's been fantastic! The whole BCSM family has been very welcoming and has made navigating the school very easy. Mr. Kurz and Ms Henriquez, my wonderful site contacts have been providing a lot of assistance in getting me to warm up to the school at large and I'm really excited to work with them this term!
I've had the pleasure of sitting in on some of the students' classes and it's such a joy to see how they participate with so much liveliness, unafraid to share their thoughts. I have to say that these students are some of the most sophisticated and insightful high school students I've ever met!
I'm looking forward to spending some more time with all of you.
There're a lot of fun activities planned for the rest of the term so stay tuned!

SeadLove,

Precious

Hello wonderful people!

I'm Precious Yeboah, and I'll be interning at the Bronx Center for Science and Math(BCSM) for the Fall of 2015! It's such a pleasure to be a part of the SEAD family!

I was born in Ghana where I spent the first 14 years of my life and moved to the Bronx,NY in 2008.
I'm currently a Junior at Dartmouth College where I'm double majoring in Studio Art and Economics. On campus, I'm largely involved with the Christian and African communities. I’m  involved with Bethel Campus Fellowship and Christian Union. My faith is an integral part of my identity and through these communities, I’ve forged some of my strongest relationships as a student.I’m a member of the Dartmouth African Students Association and I also serve as a social media chairperson for the Jabulani African chorus where our aim is to spread a passion and awareness for African music and culture.  I enjoy painting, singing, watching Korean dramas and listening to Edith Piaf.

I know that senior year can be really difficult because of how overwhelming the College application process can be, but fret not I'm here to offer all the help I can give to make sure that your senior year is more manageable!

I'm very excited to work with you all, and I'll be available at the college office with Ms.Henriquez and Mr.Kurtz starting on September 21st so please come and say "hello".
