Artist in Residence

Jonathan Mann, the digital art instructor at Springbrook High School, will have some of his original masterpieces on display in the Maryland Art Education Association Juried Exhibit. It will run from August 31 - October 19th at the Howard County Center for the Arts located at 8510 High Ridge Road, Ellicott City, MD. The Gallery is opened Monday through Friday from 10A.M. to 8P.M., on Saturdays from 10A.M. to 4P.M., and Sundays from 12 noon to 4P.M.

The work that was selected represents two framed stills from a movie that Mr. Mann is in the process of making. The framed stills are photographs he has taken and then digitally manipulated in mixed media. The content concerns the search for belief in unexpected places!

Frankeberger Goes to Bulgaria!

Mr. Eliot Frankeberger, ESOL department teacher of Modern World and US History at Springbrook High School has accepted an invitation from the President of the 12th International Military Historian’s Conference to be held in Sophia, Bulgaria. He will attend the first week in October. The title of the conference is “Military Alliances and Coalitions of the 20th Century.” Mr. Frankeberger will stay at the “Shipka” military hotel in coordination with the Rakovski Defense and Staff College, similar to our West Point. In recent years he has visited Russia with the US Council on Economic Education, and enjoyed a summer with the Fulbright Program in Bulgaria and Turkey. He happily shares his travel experiences with Springbrook students and staff.

The Books Made it to Cambodia!

Last school year, the Students Against Landmines and members of the Springbrook faculty held a book drive. The donations were received by Pannasastra University of Cambodia. The books will be distributed to three high schools in Phnom Penh.

Since English is the second language in Cambodia, the books are greatly appreciated!
