January-February 2015
News from the School
Counseling Office
Seniors & Parents of Seniors
Although we have only completed the first
semester of the 2014-2015 school year,
students are already involved in planning their
program for next year. Most of the seniors who
are applying to four year colleges have
completed the application process. Early
decision acceptances have been received. As
a result of the BHS Financial Aid Workshop
before the holidays, many families are in the
process of submitting a Financial Aid
Application. The senior counselors are still
working with students who are applying to
colleges with later deadlines. Those who are
still applying should be aware of college
application due dates. Most seniors will
probably receive notification as to the status of
their application by April 1. If seniors are still
undecided as they receive their acceptances,
remember that a campus visit can often help
students make a final choice. Watch your
deadlines for accepting college offers of
admission and for sending in housing deposits.
Be sure to inform colleges you are not
accepting that you will not attend.
CVCC Placement Testing for Seniors

those three programs ahead of time through
their PE 10 classes on Wednesday, January 7,
2015. The teachers and students from the
various classes at the CCTC will demonstrate
3
the type of class activities they do on a daily
basis as well as present other information on

and sent out to them through text messages
using Remind101.
Freshmen – January 23 and 28, 2015
These lessons are conducted by the School
Counselors through the Freshmen English
courses. The lesson focused on Careers and
the students took an interest inventory that
linked them to careers they may be interested
in based on the assessment.
Virginia Wizard: www.virginiawizard.org was
used to conduct the inventory and research
career clusters. Please take time to discuss
this information with your student. What your
child does in high school truly has an effect on
the doors that will be open to them upon
graduation and establishing a strong
foundation in their freshmen year is the key to
success throughout their high school career.
We highly encourage you to stay updated on
freshmen year activities and events by
checking out the Brookville High School
Website:
http://bhs.campbell.k12.va.us/guidance
You can also stay updated through the “BHS
Freshmen Bulletins” that are published every

copy and they are also published on our
school’s website and sent out to them through
text messages using Remind101.

the criteria a student is looking for in a college.
Information about College Entrance Exams
(SAT and ACT), CVCC Placement Tests,
Military Placement Tests (ASVAB) and other
testing required based on a student’s plans
after graduation was also discussed in detail.
Students were instructed on who needs to take
these exams, when the exams are offered and
how to register to take these exams. Handouts
detailing the exams were distributed to
students. A packet of information including
how to conduct college searches, SAT and
ACT information, and much more was given to
each student to take home to share with a
parent.

JUNIORS: TESTING TIPS FOR
ACT & SAT TESTS
Before test day:

Make sure you have two #2 pencils and
a soft eraser. A #2 pencil is required to
answer the essay and multiple choice
questions. Mechanical pencils are not
allowed. Pens are not allowed.

Make sure you bring an approved
graphing
calculator.
Visit
www.collegeboard.com for a list of
approved calculators.

Have your admission ticket and
acceptable photo ID ready. You will
need your admission ticket and photo ID
for admission to the test center. If you
do not have a photo ID, see your school
counselor.


On Test Day:
Prepare snacks to bring with you.
Although food or beverages cannot be
opened in the test room, you may stow
them under your chair or desk and
consume them outside the test room
during breaks. A healthy snack will go a
long way in keeping you alert during the
entire test.
Be well rested and ready to go. Get a
good nights sleep the night before the
test and eat a good breakfast that
morning.

Check to see if your SAT test center is
open. Visit http://www.collegeboard.com
on Friday for a list of test center
closings. On Saturday morning, if there
is bad weather in your area, tune into
your local media (like you do for school
closing announcements) to make sure
that your test center has not been
affected.

Plan ahead to arrive at the test center
on time. Unless otherwise noted on your
admission ticket, arrive at the test center
no later than 7:45 am. Testing should
start at approximately 8 am.

Give yourself plenty of time to get to the
test center. Consider traffic, weather
conditions, flat tires and anything else
that could slow you down.

Make sure you use #2 pencils, approved
graphing calculator and acceptable
photo ID.

Be sure to test at the center indicated on
your admission ticket. Even if you are
scheduled to test at a center that was
not your first choice, you are only
guaranteed admission to the test center
listed on your admission ticket. Seating
is very limited at other test centers.

Use breaks to eat or drink any snacks
you have brought with you. You will
have several breaks during the test. Use
them to relax and eat a snack so you
can stay focused.

Pace yourself during the test.
Remember, each question counts the
same. If you find yourself spending too
much time on one question, move on to
the next question.
Teach Your Student How to Create a
“Study Island” for Success
Today’s teens never seem to focus on one
thing at a time. They send text messages
while they read their history. They watch TV
while they’re writing their English paper. And
they’re not doing any of it well. Research
shows that the brain can really only focus on
one thing at a time. So one of the best ways
you can help your teen be successful is to
create a “study island”. It should be a quiet
place. Somewhere your teen can focus on
studying. And it should be separated from the
rest of the world. That means no phone or text
messages and no TV. It also means only
using the internet for school work during study
time. Have your teen try this for a few weeks.
Keep track of how long it takes him to do his
homework. Also keep track of the grades he
receives. Before long, he should begin to
6
notice a difference. When he studies on his
“study island,” his grades will go up.
AP Calculus
Mock Exam
The AP Calculus Mock Exam will be
administered on Saturday, March 28th 8:00am
- 12:00pm at BHS. This is mandatory for any
student taking AP Calculus AB this year. If you
have any questions, please contact Mrs. Liana
Ewers by calling the school or
emailing [email protected].
Keep Your Teenager Safe by Keeping
Tabs on Online Activity
Your teen uses the internet to do homework,
visit social networking sites and just have fun.
But do you know what else he or she is doing
online? It can be tough to get teens to open up
and talk about their online activities. They may
feel old enough to handle whatever strange
things they find online. But it’s vital that you
keep tabs on your teen’s internet use and that
you know what they are doing in cyberspace.
Here are signs that your teen may be at risk for
online trouble:

It’s All About
THE DRAMA
VA Thespian Conference
He/she shuts off the monitor as soon as
you enter the room.

Talk to them about internet dangers

Keep the family computer in the living
room or other common place, not in
your child’s bedroom.
Thirty-four theatre students, Mrs. Emanuel, and
three parent chaperones attended the Virginia
Thespian Conference held January 9-11 at
George Mason University. Students attended
workshops led by theatre professionals from
across the country and watched several plays
and musicals performed by high schools from
across the state. The One-Act Competition
team performed their play, Apostrophe’s by:
Bradley Hayward, which placed first in the
Conference Festival and fourth in the Regional
Festival. Several students competed in
Individual Events and five students had scores
high enough to advance to the National
Festival held in Nebraska this summer. Those
students were:

Use filtering software to prevent them
from visiting sites that are inappropriate.
Solo Musical Theatre: Luke Milhoan, Brianna
Sahadak, and Lucy Wooldridge

Limit computer usage – especially if you
feel the computer time is affecting their
schoolwork

Teach him/her to NEVER give out
personal information

He/she spends lots of time logged on,
particularly at night. Kids who spend a
great deal of time online are more likely
to fall victim to online predators

He/she withdraws from the family.
Although some “pulling away” is normal,
a total withdraw isn’t.
To keep your teen from getting into serious
trouble online:
Duet Acting: Jasmine Lawce and Amber Craig

rhymes and commands a cabal of talking
creatures. A few surprise guests also attend
this humorous and heartwarming adaptation,
which promises to involve, entertain, and
delight any audience. As Dorothy clicks her
silver shoes and happily returns home, all will
be smiling and laughing as they scrape their
dessert dishes clean.
Trick-or-Treat So Kids Can Eat
For the first time our Thespian Troupe 7962
participated in the nationwide International
Thespian Society’s annual service initiative
TOTS Eat. Students collected cans from
friends and family and organized a contest
among first period classes at BHS in order to
collect cans. Thespian Troupe members also
dressed in costumes and went trick-or-treating
in Wyndhurst and Rainbow Forest one evening
in October. Our Troupe received the Harvest
Excellence Award, which was given to the
school with the greatest total collection by a
first-time participant. There were over fifty first
time participants nationwide, so this was a
significant honor. Most importantly 2146
pounds of food were delivered to the Blue
Ridge Area Food Bank to help the hungry in
our community.

Dinner In Oz by: Kandie Kelley
By turns wicked, funny, warm, romantic and
touching, The Music Man is family
entertainment at its best. Meredith Wilson’s sixtime, TONY Award winning musical comedy
has been entertaining audiences since 1957
and is a family-friendly story to be shared with
every generation. The Music Man follows fasttalking traveling salesman Harold Hill as he
cons the people of River City, Iowa into buying
instruments and uniforms for a boys' band he
vows to organize - this despite the fact he
doesn't know a trombone from a treble clef. His
plans to skip town with the cash are foiled
when he falls for Marian the librarian, who
transforms him into a respectable citizen by
curtain's fall.
March 20-21 at 6:00p.m.
Tickets are $7.00 for students and $10.00 for
adults. Dinner is included.
Tickets must be purchased in advance and can
be purchased from the BHS Main Office during
school hours.
Trapped in Kansas and longing for a mall,
Dorothy and Toto are suddenly whirled off
stage, right into the audience, where a yellow
brick road weaves in and out of the tables and
munchkins are serving food. In this outrageous
version of L. Frank. Baum’s lovable book, the
Tin Man has frozen in front of a computer, and
the Cowardly Lion stands on a guest’s chair to
escape a mouse. As the plot unfolds, we
eventually meet the great Wizard of Oz, a
bumbling baffoon, and a witch who speaks in

Sister City Rueil-Malmaison update
Students at Brookville High and Middle
Schools have been in contact with Lynchburg’s
first sister city, Rueil-Malmaison. Kendra
Turner has been at Brookville for two years
and has kept in contact with English teachers
in Rueil since 1997. She visited the Collège
Marcel Pagnol, a middle school in the heart of
Rueil, back on her trip to Rueil with Dr. White
and Lynchburg College.
Each year the teachers send each other a list
of their students and email each other to
decide the match-ups based on age, level,
interests, etc. The teachers send a batch of
letters back and forth each month and try to
have their students write ½ in French and ½
English. They write about holidays and
customs and just answer whatever their penpal asks. With the recent tragedy in France,
US students will send their condolences to
France and French students will share how a
tragedy close to home has affected their lives.
BHS Art News
"Earth without ART is just "eh."
Don't live in an "eh" world! Come out to see
Brookville High School's annual Art Show.
There is so much to see-paintings, sculpture,
ceramics, printmaking, watercolors, pastels,
and much more!
Brookville's talented students have been
working all year to present a fantastic show to
be held May 4th-8th. "Family and Friends
Night" will be Thursday, May 7th, from 3:006:00pm.
Located in the Band Room, a 360 degree view
of student artwork will surround and amaze
you. Mark your calendars for this special
event!
Students also connect with their pen-pals on
Facebook and email in between mailings.
Even though email, Facebook, snapchat, and
Twitter seem to be taking over, it is still nice to
receive a real paper letter once in a while or a
special card in a foreign language. It’s also a
great teaching opportunity for letter writing and
polite correspondence in both languages.
Mrs. Turner is hoping these exchanges may
lead to students wanting to visit their pen-pals
and bring back the exchanges among students
in Rueil and Lynchburg.
Upcoming events include a Chandeleur, or
Candelmas French club party after school on
February 2.

DRIVER ED
INFORMATION
for Teachers and Parents
Also important to note, these strawberries are
picked ripe so they will not last as long in your
fridge as store bought, they will start to go soft
in about a week, make sure you have plans to
freeze, eat, can or cook with them when they
arrive. :)
In Virginia, you can begin the process of
getting a driver's license when you are 15 1/2
years old. You start with a state-approved
driver education course at your high school,
then practice driving under the supervision of a
licensed adult while you have your learner's
permit. Finally, you can get your license once
you are eligible.
Teens have a higher crash rate than more
experienced drivers. This learner's permit is
designed to prevent crashes and fatalities, as
well as injuries, by giving adolescent drivers
more practice before they are licensed.
Brookville celebrates
National FFA Week
February 21-28
Brookville Horticulture and FFA chapter will be
celebrating National FFA week this year
February 21st through the 28th. This year’s
theme is Go All Out, it embraces more than 80
years of FFA traditions while looking forward to
the organization’s future. More than half a
million members will participate in National
FFA Week activities at local, state and national
Teen driver education must be done in 36
classroom periods. Topics include alcohol
safety and drug abuse, organ and tissue
donation, motorcycle awareness, and
aggressive and distracted driving. Unless you
are homeschooled, you must take the course
at your high school or a private driver training
11
school.
There are only 14 in-car instruction periods
required―seven periods of driving, and seven
of observing. Of course, you will need much
more practice than this to become a proficient
driver. Practicing outside of driver's ed will
allow you to be-come a better, safer driver.
Once you complete the driver's education
course successfully, you will receive a
completion certificate. This gets sent to the
Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) so they
can issue your permanent driver's license.
If you're under 18 years old, your parent or
legal guardian must sign the certificate to attest
to your good academic standing and authorize
you to get a license. Your parent must also
certify that you have driven for at least 45
hours (15 of those after sunset). You will
receive your license at a court ceremony with
your parent or le-gal guardian present.
NEWS FROM
THE ATHLETIC
DEPARTMENT
In order to compete in interscholastic
competition, you must meet the following

certain conditions. You must have successfully
completed driver education while you lived in
another state. The course must have had at
least 36 classroom periods and 14 in-car
instruction peri-ods (seven driving, seven
observing).
As with other license applicants, you must also
show proof of legal presence, proof of identity,
proof of Virginia residency, and proof of your
Social Security number. Acceptable documents
are listed on the DMV's official website.
If you have not completed a driver education
course, the DMV may give you a temporary
