Read, view, get, do ... all via YouTube, Tweeter and FaceBook
Written by Roberto Baldizon   

Exciting things continue to happen at BFIS, and most of them are now spilling over to the web in order to reach a broader audience. As part of our growing technology and arts offerings to students, the Digital Arts course this year covered digital filmmaking. Students have worked in teams to create impacting, sometimes amusing but certainly imaginative videos encompassing a broad range of disciplines such as music, short story telling, advertising and others. In order for our student-body to enjoy a broader audience, we have created and are now launching the official BFIS Internet (TV) Channel using the www.youtube.com website. Visit http://www.youtube.com/user/BenjaminFranklinTV to view some of the great projects that have been created this year. In the immediate future you will see us include all sorts of other video projects created for other content areas around the school, and even faculty-created ones. We hope you enjoy watching and that you also participate with your comments on the great videos available.

In addition to videos, we have also created a Facebook page bearing the name Bfis Barcelona Spain (once in Facebook, do a search using the registered email This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it ). So far we have managed to upload only a few of the many images captured during School events such as the HS Career Day, the St. Jordi celebration, the 2010 Gala Dinne & Silent Auction, and a few others. More images will be added as time passes. Add us as a "friend" and you are sure to enjoy our vibrant online community.

Lastly, we wish to introduce yet another tool that will aid us in providing you with clear and timely communication, this time straight from the keyboard of our Director, Dr. David Penberg. A Twitter account has been created for this purpose, and will continually be fed by Dr. Penberg. You are free to contribute with questions and comments. More importantly, however, this is a tool aimed at providing you with important updates of the many happenings at BFIS, so go ahead and become a "follower" of this new account. The Twitter address to follow is http://twitter.com/BFIS_Director.

Do not forget the School's website! We have all of these updates, and many other important articles of information for your to keep up to date with us. Hear the latest "The Last Pretzel" episode created by our students, learn more of what our own students are doing in the community via the Community Services page, and keep up with Mr. Santos and Mr. Duval via their monthly communications. So much information, so many avenues to get what you need! Remember our website address: www.bfischool.org

New Honor Wall Recipients
Written by Jane Narich   

We are proud to announce the recipients of our Honor Wall Tribute. These two very special people have contributed in an exceptional fashion to the BFIS Community, embodying what it is that sets us apart. Congratulations Kili Lay, Director of Instruction and Staff Development  and Cade Leebron, 12th grade student!

Kili Lay

When it was decided to make highly successful schools for people who burn with commitment and efficiency, they had Kili Lay in mind. For 7 years she has been a presence at BFIS becoming one of those teachers whose students eagerly look forward to having and one of those teachers who other teachers go to for advice and inspiration.

Her work ethic is nothing less than tireless and exemplary. Her devotion to students and teachers pushing themselves to the best of their capacity is one of her gifts.  The other is her sense of generosity: She is one of those educators willing to lend a hand in just about everything from social service projects to getting the school’s website up and running. 

In her temporary absence as a new mother, we honor her for the many roles she has fulfilled with her trademark smile, patience and sense of innovation. She occupies a very special place on the honor wall.

 

Cade Leebron

Cade Leebron has been selected for the Honor Wall because she has helped define the meaning of initiative and intellectual vitality at our school.

 In founding and developing The Fizz, BFIS’s first literary magazine, she has brought students together to pursue and celebrate expressive and creative achievements in our community. The editorial staff of The Fizz are dedicated to encouraging other students and community members to share their writing and artwork. They have instituted a writing contest to foster maximum participation from all grade levels in the middle and high schools and raised funds to share this literary output in an attractive format that will bring pleasure to the wider community.

 Cade, along with her colleagues on the staff of The Fizz, is the kind of maker and doer who embodies the value our school places on cooperation, imaginative thinking, expression, and community. Exemplifying true leadership, she has created a new tradition, a legacy that will endure beyond her own years at BFIS.
