SPRING 2017 FINAL EXAMS       

Spring 2017 final exam schedules have been posted. 
Students are asked to double-check the schedule in order to determine whether or not they have a conflict. A conflict is defined as two exams scheduled at the same time or four exams scheduled in one day. Please report any conflicts to the Principal’s Office.
As always, during final exam days, students are required to be present only during the times they have exams. It is always difficult to find alternative times to take final exams and often it has a detrimental effect on a student’s performance on the exam. Therefore, we ask families to please make every effort to schedule around final exams so that all students are present at their assigned exam times. 
If you have any questions about finals scheduling please contact Shani Simonson in the Principal’s Office at ssimonson@brebeuf.org.

Picture of the Week

Michael Knapp '18
Hugh Pebworth '18
Congratulations to Michael Knapp '18 and Hugh Pebworth '18
on becoming Eagle Scouts!
Michael’s project included building trophy display cases for St. Richard’s Episcopal School, where he attended K-8th grade.  St. Richards Troop 180 continues to produce Eagle Scouts, despite its fairly small size. 
Hugh completed a three-phased service project with the Douglass Little League. He raised money to assist in providing support for the league. He also conducted an equipment drive to equip low and modest income kids with gloves, cleats, bats and other equipment – raising enough equipment to outfit two full teams.  The final phase included Hugh and 7 teammates from Brebeuf’s baseball team conducting a skills clinic with over fifty kids in Douglass Park on February 29, 2016.  Hugh and other teammates hosted another skills clinic a year later in February 2017.
Hugh and Michael add to the awesome group of Eagle Scouts from the Class of 2018 at St. Richard's Episcopal School joining juniors Julian Boes and Matthew Marchesani!
Student Spotlight

Kierstin Rose '17

Loves About Brebeuf
I love how everyone is free to truly be themselves. In other schools I know there is this pressure to fit in and hide what makes you unique, but Brebeuf encourages students to embrace their individuality. Brebeuf has taught me to stay true to myself and my morals and not change them because others want me too.
Favorite Class
My favorite class is English 12 with Mrs. Freehauf. We have many thought-provoking discussions that are relevant to current events. Most of the writing assignments that we have had in class have been on topics that the students want to talk about. It gets us more excited to write a good piece of work and share it with the class. She's also a very kind teacher that truly cares about her students and that makes learning in her class easier.
Future Plans
I will be attending Albion College next year and I plan on majoring in biology. I also will be playing lacrosse during my years there.
Teams & Co-Curriculars
Lacrosse
Students Against Human Trafficking Club
Black Student Union 
Random Facts
My favorite TV shows are Mysteries at the Museum and Rick and Morty.
I have spent 628 hours playing The Sims 4
I do not like breakfast foods.
What has been your favorite Brebeuf experience or most memorable moment so far?
With the help of Madame Martin, I was able to travel to Toulouse, France for the exchange program last year. It was my first time going out of state and it was one of the best experiences of my life. I attended school with the French students and we were able to go on amazing field trips to neighboring cities. I saw beautiful sights and got to experience a culture that was different than my own.
As a senior, what advice do you have for all the new Braves in the Class of 2021?
My biggest piece of advice would be take advantage of your PRTs and see your teachers. Even if you don’t need help, going to talk to them can help you have a better relationship with them and could lead to your class being more fun.
How did you get into The Sims 4?  
I was watching the podcast for the game back when it was first coming out, and there was a lot of hype behind it from players from the previous game. When it was released I decided to get it to see if it was as good as they said it was and I've been playing it ever since.
