Creative Writing Goes Public!

By -





An Update by English Teacher Aaron Cass:

This year’s SRHS Creative Writing students did some fantastic work, which they have showcased by publishing their own online portfolio blogs.  In the course, students wrote everything from flash fiction to definitional essays to Elizabethan Sonnets, and you can see it all here.

Teacher, Aaron Cass, had this to say about the students’ work: “I’ve been blown away by what they have achieved this year.  They wrote some of the most honest, creative, moving pieces I’ve read in my ten years as a teacher.”

Sanborn Regional High School offers a variety of engaging elective courses in a wide range of subject areas.  For more information on what Sanborn has to offer, see the SRHS CourseCatalog for details.

    When it comes to creative writing then professional essay writers has a large contribution to it. I used to be bad at writing articles and essays in my university and always ends up getting worst marks. Then I found an expert (https://assignmenthelpdubai.ae/essay-writing-service) as I mentioned earlier they were the motivation and key factor for me to learn this creative skills. It took months but now with the help of those professionals I'm able to write my own creative projects.

My Speech to the NHS Inductees on Scholarship

Tonight, I will be speaking to you about scholarship, one of the four pillars of the National Honor Society. Scholarship is one of those words that we all can identify with, but it isn’t that easy to define. Dictionaries often define it to mean “academic achievement, learning; or the qualities of a scholar.” The qualities of a scholar --- well my ninth grade English teacher Mr. Tomallo never would have allowed me to use the word I was trying to define in the definition, so I have to dig deeper. What is a scholar? Again I turn to the dictionary, and I find the following: “A scholar is a learned person, someone who attends school or studies with a teacher.” I’m still not satisfied with this result. It seems the online dictionaries that Google has offered me are not helping me summarize what should be an easy-definable concept, scholarship. Perhaps I will need to research some examples of scholarship to help us better understand the concept.   In preparation for this speech...

Does Your School Facility Need a Makeover?

Does your school facility need a makeover? According to this 2012 report by the National Center for Education Statistics, 53% of American schools are due for such an upgrade. Upgrades can be done in ways to fit almost any school budget. The key for school principals is to stretch the financial resources they have to provide the biggest rate of return possible to enhance student learning and overall school culture.   At a recent visit to my child’s middle school, the principal took me on a tour of recent upgrades made to their front entrance lobby. The building, built quickly and cheaply in the 1970’s has long since reached the status of obsolete in our community, yet we as a voting community just aren’t ready to support a project to build a new middle school. Like so many other principals from coast to coast in this situation, the principal had to look for small ways to make facility upgrades that would have a big impact. The lobby project was this kind of a project. Much...

My Speech to the NHS Inductees on Character

Character is perhaps the most abstract of the four National Honor Society pillars, and that perhaps makes it the most difficult to quantify and speak about. Most of us would say that we know good character when we see it. We identify with examples of strong character. Consider this situation: Four friends from out of state are passing through Kingston on their way to a vacation in the White Mountains. Their names are Jerry, Elaine, George, and Kramer. Yes, for those of you who recognize this story I am talking about the 4 main characters from the television series Seinfeld and this is the famous “final episode.” They witness a robbery in broad daylight. The robber has his hand in his pocket, and the victim shouts that the man has a gun. As soon as the robber runs away, a Kingston policeman appears on the scene; but instead of pursuing the robber, he arrests Jerry, Elaine, George, and Kramer for having violated the "Good Samaritan" law. Since the four of them spent ...
