Kaleidoscope!

6 May

                                                          
“Are you ready for the second annual Kaleidoscope? This coming Friday, May 11, Kaleidoscope arrives – it’s a fun afternoon in which students teach other students about their passions and interests. Participants take two 45-minute long classes, and food from great places like Boloco, Starbucks, and Bertucci’s will be provided. Classes include a variety of subjects, from Art, to Cupcake Decorating, to Ballroom Dancing, to Pokemon Battling, to Ultimate Frisbee and more! (To view a complete catalog of classes, visitbit.ly/blskaleidoscope).
You can buy Kaleidoscope tickets in the main lobby during lunch or after school. Tickets are only $5, but $7 at the door, so buy them fast – classes are filling up, too! Our sellers are undergoing a violent competition to secure the most tickets, so let’s wish them good luck… and may the odds be ever in their favor.”

BLS-er of the week

29 Jan

We’re back with more awesome people from BLS.

We’re not exaggerating when we say that this week’s BLSer of the Week (though we should really start calling it BLSer of the month due to my slacker status) will literally live forever. Like really forever. How is this possible, you ask? Well, the only thing more permanent than the electronic record we leave of ourselves, is the paper one – our high school year book. We promise you that it – and the high school memories wedged within its pages – will follow you forever. And here at Wolf Blog, it has recently come to our attention that putting together one of these things is no easy task. However, Teresa Cheng and her highly capable team on the year book staff are clearly up to it. From harassing students in homeroom for their senior profiles, to harassing students via facebook to send in their pictures, to harassing students again during homeroom for their senior superlatives, the yearbook team is doing the legwork for us now that we would have wished we had done ourselves later. This week’s BLSer of the Week, Teresa Cheng, has been an integral part of that effort (girl, you be blowin up my newsfeed with all these reminders!), spending her precious time working on something that we will all be able to look upon fondly soon… aka next November J

 

 

 

So Congratulations Teresa, and have a great rest of the long weekend BLS!

ImpACT & Film Club’s Miss Representation Screening

12 Dec

Vanessa Lee, Class I, writes about the Miss Representation Screening last Friday.

Miss Representation was screened at BLS in the Electronic Classroom on Friday, December 9th through a collaboration between Film Club and impACT. This event, which was attended by over 50 people, sparked interesting discussion and new perspectives. It was truly a film worth viewing.

If you’ve been even mildly awake this past week at BLS, you’ve certainly seen brightly colored fliers along the hallways announcing that it would take “500 years before there are enough women in the U.S. government to finally achieve equality.” Even on Facebook, dozens of people changed their profile pictures to share the film, Miss Representation, with their friends.

Miss Representation, a new an acclaimed film featured at the 2011 Sundance Film Festival, exposes how women are under-represented in positions of power in today society and how mainstream media contributes to negative and degrading stereotypes of women. This interesting documentary presents the audience with stories from teenage girls and provocative interviews with prominent politicians, journalists, entertainers, activists, and academics. The voices of people such as Condoleezza Rice, Nancy Pelosi, Katie Couric, Rachel Maddow, and Margaret Cho are all captured in this breathtaking film.

To learn more about Miss Representation, check out http://missrepresentation.org/the-film/. If you didn’t get a chance to come to this screening, be sure to look out for future screenings and collaborations by Film Club and impACT!

BLS-er of the Week!

4 Dec

What’s up BLS?

Our scout returns with a BLS-er(s) of the week. 

 

This week’s BLSers of the Week are coming at ya from the theater department. This Thursday, Friday, and Saturday senior Hannah Sears directed a production of the play You Can’t Take it with You by George Kaufman and Moss Hart.  The play follows the shenanigans of an eccentric family. There is grandpa, who gave up a lucrative corporate job and now wiles away his days going to circuses and commencements. There’s Penny, grandpa’s daughter, who writes plays  – even though she’s not very good at it, and her husband Paul and his friend Mr. Depina, who spend most of their time making fireworks in the basement. Paul and Penny have two daughters – Essie and Alice. Essie is an (awful) ballet dancer, and is married to Ed – who can’t remember his own last name. Alice is the most “normal” member of the family – and falls in love with the vice president of her company, Tony. The cast is rounded out by the family’s help – Rheba and Donald, an IRS officer, Tony’s parents, a drunk actress, and three FBI special agents. All of which make for a funny and well done situational comedy. So congratulations to the cast and crew, and stay tooned for the Guild play, and the play For Colored Girls… later this year!

 

And of course, have a great Sunday BLS!
