 Friday Focus:  One Grove Gallery Features Senior Art

​The current exhibition in the One Grove Gallery highlights the dedication and hard work of our talented senior art students. Students dedicated to the visual arts have shown growth, hard work, problem solving, and exploration in their artwork. They explore visual concepts and communicate meaning in their artwork. As you look at this show you will see how each person has developed a personal style and context in their artwork. This show celebrates their successes, as many go on to continue art in their future endeavors. Artists celebrated: Kayla Baba, Lauren Benjamin, Sonia Cristoltean, Natalie Druy, Kennedy Gerber, Marisa Kurowski, Isabella Larkowski, Joel Moreno Pedraza, Kiersten O’Malley, Renee Pasillas, Ashley Pina, Michael Plaxico, Diego Serratos, and Ava Swensen.

Staff Spotlight

What is your name? My name is Amy Rubio. 



What department have you/ do you work in? I currently work in the ground’s department. I was a third shift custodian for Buffalo grove before that. 


How long have you been working at BG? I believe I am going on my 12th year here. 


Where did you go to high school? I went to Streamwood high school. I was born and raised in Streamwood. Still live in my childhood home. 


What part of working at BG do you find the most rewarding? I enjoy seeing the final results of any project we do. It’s rewarding to see the kids enjoying the things we set up for them. 


What are you currently reading, and/ or do you have a favorite author or podcast?  Right now I’m not reading anything. Between work, watching my son play sports, and spending time with the family, I usually fall asleep the second I get comfortable! When I do read I like fiction, and murder mystery books. 


What is something unique about you? I’m not sure it’s unique but I love spending time with my children. They are getting older now and it’s still really cool that they want to hang out with me. 


What activities or clubs do you coach/ sponsor? What activities at BG do you follow? I don’t coach anything anymore. When my girls were younger I helped coach cheerleading, and found myself always volunteering to be team mom to all the other activities my kids were in. Right now I watch a lot of basketball and soon it will be track because my son plays. At BG I usually follow the outside sports like football, soccer, baseball and softball.
