Friday Focus: One Grove Gallery New Exhibit
We are honored to present photographs by Candace Wark and Shirley Nannini in One Grove Gallery. They have shown their work in over 50 group, gallery, museum, and solo shows throughout the United States. We are lucky to include our gallery as one of them.
Combining their unique and diverse backgrounds of a mechanical and aerospace engineer with a developing photographer, Candace and Shirley started a collaboration that resulted in the foundation of Wind Flow Photography. Their stunning images capture the interaction of wind and light to create unique photographs that illustrate a single moment in time that can never be reproduced.
The show will be up until April 23, 2019.

District 214 needs mentors to help students explore careers
The Daily Herald, March 18, 2019
When it comes to teaching students, working with mentors from outside the classroom can be invaluable. Studies show that high school students who have been mentored are more likely to be engaged in high school overall and to graduate from college or other postsecondary training. To encourage this kind of student growth and confidence, High School District 214 has launched a program to connect students with mentors who can help them succeed in high school and beyond.

Boys water polo: Buffalo Grove surges past Warren
The Daily Herald, March 15, 2019
It may be hard to imagine being in a swimming pool and needing a wake up call, but that's just what Buffalo Grove's boys water polo team was desperate for.
Aidan Nix supplied it in a huge way. Read Story
Boys volleyball: Scouting the Northwest suburbs
The Daily Herald, March 16, 2019
Outlook: Buffalo Grove did graduate a pair of all-MSL performers, but Soifer also was on that all-conference list and headlines a list of returning players for Kosiek's Bison squad. "We are excited for a competitive season," said Kosiek. "Ethan is returning to the outside-hitting position and was a consistent offensive leader last season. He will be joined by Teddy in the middle, in addition to the Gross brothers on the outside and setting positions, respectively. Orton will assist the offense as well as a returning junior. Read Story
The Northwest suburbs All-Area Boys Basketball Team
The Daily Herald, March 14, 2019
Nate Cole Buffalo Grove: A sophomore on varsity last year, Cole was a role player who scored a few points per game. This year, his role was much different, and the Bison relied on him heavily for his production. "Nate increased his points per game by over 10 points this year," Buffalo Grove coach Keith Peterson said.
Kam Craft Buffalo Grove: Just a freshman, Craft made an immediate impact for Buffalo Grove. He scored a season- and career-high 31 points against Grayslake Central in his very first high school game. Craft also had 30 points later in the season against Schaumburg. "Kam is a very skilled and gifted scorer," Buffalo Grove coach Keith Peterson said. Read Story

Staff Spotlight
1. What is your name? Scott Kopecky
2. What department have you/do you work in? I teach in the Math/Science division, biology and AP environmental science.
3. How long have you been working at BG? I started in 2003, so this is year 15.
4. Where did you go to high school? I went to Maine South.
5. What part of working at BG do you find the most rewarding? I love working with kids. It keeps me young and I am always learning new things from students. I feel it is important to expose students to science and make them think critically about issues they will be facing as they enter adulthood. Science is one career path that will always need more people involved. If students develop an interest in science at an early age, it will open many doors in the future for them.
6. What is something unique about you? I am an avid bike rider. I often commute to work by bike which is about 14 miles each way. My sons race BMX, and I have started to as well. We are an outdoors family. We fish, mountain bike and camp as much as possible.
7. What activities or clubs do you coach/ sponsor? I am the Varsity Boys Water Polo Coach.
