Photo Special to The Bruin Ada Grillot, a member of the organizing committee for the 2010 Lowe Family Young Scholars Program Afternoon Tea, Fashion Show and Silent auction, looks at clothes earlier this month at the Wal-Mart SuperCenter in Bartlesville with LFYSP student Brenna Ratliff, who will serve as a model during the event, which will be held March 27 at Oklahoma Wesleyan University Dining Center. LFYSP fashion show set for March 27 Fundraising event promises entertainment and fun for all Perhaps it was divine intervention. While sitting in church recently, Karen Lowe had an idea. She and her husband, Bartlesville Board of Education member Barry W. Lowe, are the co-founders of the Lowe Family Young Scholars Program. Launched in February of 2007, the focus of the mentoring-based program is to help students who might not otherwise have the means to attend college through scholarships. Since the program always welcomes the opportunity to raise funds for its students in fun and unique ways, she wondered what it would be like to hold a fashion show focused on the LFYSP. It could be a social event complete with light food and beverages and the students could model the latest fashions provided by some local merchants. Barry W. Lowe liked the idea, and thus work began in earnest to put together the event. The kids are all excited about the opportunity to do something like this, says Karen Lowe. Any young student is always interested in being a model. We have some great sponsors, and I think it will be a fun event. The 2010 Lowe Family Young Scholars Program Afternoon Tea, Fashion Show and Silent Auction is scheduled to take place on Saturday, March 27 in the Oklahoma Wesleyan University Dining Center. Featuring apparel and accessories provided by Goody s Family Clothing, Stage Department Store, The Buckle and the Wal-Mart SuperCenter, the event is set to begin at 3 p.m. Tickets which are priced at $25 apiece of which $10 can be considered a tax deductible donation are available at the Bartlesville Community Center Box Office (300 SE Adams Blvd.) or by calling 331-5214. During the show, entertainment will be provided by the Ad Lib Singers as well as pianist Charles Miller. All proceeds raised from the event will benefit the Lowe Family Young Scholars Program. Mike Wilt, of the Jane Phillips Medical Center, will serve as the master of ceremonies. The LFYSP features 16 students in all and each of them will help out in some way during the fashion show. Some will walk down the catwalk modeling their attire as Miller provides the music. A semi-formal event, the show will feature an English-style tea setting. OWU chef Jerry Comstock will cater the event and the edible items are expected to include fruit-filled tarts, chocolate mousse tarts, petite muffins with honey butter, petite sandwiches (ham, turkey, swiss and provolone), petite lemon bars and veggie canapés. Other beverages, such as lemonade and coffee, will be available as well. The silent auction will feature items and services provided by businesses and individuals such as a Tissot titanium men s watch, a Ping Golf bag, designer Nicole Miller sunglasses, various pieces of artwork, car care FASHION - Continued to Page 8

Of course, spring break, which will span from March 15-19 within the district, is coming up quickly as well. As we always like to say, it s a great time to be a Bruin. The Lone Star Basketball Championships are a wonderful event. Though this year s tournament will soon conclude, the event is due back in Bartlesville and at the BHS Fieldhouse again next year. The championships which see the eventual winners in the men s and women s brackets earn automatic berths in the NCAA Division II national tournament always allow for those in and around the City of Legends to enjoy some March madness. The games are spirited, the souvenirs, food and beverages are plentiful, and we always enjoy the opportunity to show off the tremendous BHS Fieldhouse. Many special events always coincide with the championships. Prior to the tip-off of the tournament, the Lone Star Conference held a special banquet here in Bartlesville. This afternoon beginning at 4:30 p.m. a free FanFest is set to take place in the old BHS gymnasium which will feature complimentary food and beverages in addition to a special appearance by Rumble, the mascot of the NBA s Oklahoma City Thunder.

The district s 2010 Teacher of the Year Ceremony was held on Feb. 22 in the Fine Arts Center auditorium on the BHS campus. An annual event, the 2010 Teacher of the Year Ceremony featured special performances by the Bartlesville High School Jazz Choir, the BHS Chamber Orchestra, the Madison Middle School 7th and 8th Grade Girls Choir and the Woodrow Wilson Elementary School Choir.

During the event, area fifth graders are able to learn about the wonders of flight and space exploration and how a firm understanding of math and science can open doors into exciting and adventurous careers. Ticket to Tomorrow features several stations for the students to rotate through as they enjoy interesting and hands-on lessons. Some of the lessons allow the youngsters to work with inflatable versions of space shuttles and other simulated crafts. The annual Bartlesville District Science and Engineering Fair offers insight into some rewarding career possibilities as well. Students from throughout the area enter and display their projects which focus on a myriad of aspects from the world of science. Students from elementary grades all the way up to seniors in high school take part in the event and the projects are always insightful and sometimes truly fascinating. Today s fair which is for students from grades one through six will span from 5:30-9:30 p.m. The fair will conclude Saturday and will focus on students from grades seven through 12. It is due to stretch from 7:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. The district s annual Classified Person of the Year Reception is always a fun event and is held in the main ballroom of the Bartlesville Community Center.
