Congratulations to Erykah
Carter for winning the 2016 Bijou Awards for Best Female Singer. The Bijou
Awards is an annual event sponsored by the Bijou Theater that celebrates and
rewards area talent in singing and acting. Erykah is $1000 richer thanks
to her first-place scholarship win, and, as a result, STEM is $500
wealthier thanks to Erykah's talent. Way to go, Erykah!

Update – students are
no longer allowed to use the poster printer located in the workspace behind the
art classroom unless accompanied by a teacher.
We’ve had a drink of some sort spilled on it and paper jammed without
anyone let someone who could fix it know about it. We have to restrict use to preserve its
life. We cannot afford to replace it!
