Last Week at SBEC

On April 16, band members and chaperones arrived back on the SBEC campus from a 5-day trip to Washington, D.C. where the band marched in the 100^th annual Cherry Blossom Parade. We were chosen as a result of band auditions from around the country. Marching in the parade was a lot of fun and I even met some new friends at the practices for the parade. Although this is my freshman year at SBEC, the students in the band and color guard have helped to make this a great year.

Although all of my classes this year have helped prepare me for college, Computer Applications 1 has been particularly important. My computer teacher, Mrs. April Mahony, has helped me and the other students do excellent work on the numerous projects we have during her course. One of our projects was to write a business letter to a welcome center. I chose to write to the welcome center in San Bernardino, California. In my letter, I asked several questions about their town and what attractions I should visit. Last week, I received a Visitor magazine and brochures about the city. I thought this response was really cool.

SBEC is a great school to attend; they offer many interesting and helpful classes.
