Kristen Hess was recently highlighted in the national newsletter for the Quaglia Institute for Student Aspirations. Hess, a senior at KHS, was selected by members of the Teacher Aspirations team to write an essay last spring for the Student Voice section of the Aspirations newsletter. With the help of Keidi Boatfield and Dan Freeman, both of whom provided editing suggestions and content ideas for Kristen, her essay accurately reflected the impact Aspirations is making at Kenmore High School. On September 11, 2012, Kristen was surprised with a framed copy of the essay during a staff meeting at KHS. She was told her article was published and would be seen nationwide. Kristen is a great example of why we are all APS Proud!

Susan Hall, Media Specialist and Digital Literacy Learning Coach for the National Inventors Hall of Fame Center for STEM Learning, is an advocate for an innovative approach to getting learners interested in reading. As the culmination of their summer reading event, Coach Hall has her students begin by choosing and reading a book over the summer. Once class resumes, the students must try to "sell" that book to their peers. This event is set up similar to a speed dating format; but, instead of selling themselves, they are selling a book (or story) to their classmates. The students have one minute to cajole, entice and convince their classmates to read their book using only props and their own passion for the story.
