Brashear High School students, in conjunction with the “Be There” campaign, kicked off a mini library project by donating the first of many free book depositories at Paisano’s Pizza in Pittsburgh’s Allentown neighborhood.

The libraries were built by Brashear students and will be placed around the district, as well as other parts of the city.

SLB was on hand to speak with students and gather audio from the inaugural little library. The first voice you’ll hear belongs to parent volunteer Deb Smallwood.

After School students at Brashear have been having some interesting candid discussions in Radio Club. During this week’s round table, fighting in school was the main topic. Radio Club members talked about school policy, why fighting happens, and alternatives to violence.

Underclassmen at Brashear started mandatory state testing this week with the Keystone Exams. In a round table setting, students discussed and reflected on the Keystones.

There were lots of new faces in After School this week so we revisited the how to use the equipment and microphone technique. To get to know each other, students wrote and recorded “Three Things About Me” then, in a round table format, talked about a hot topic policy at thier school; hall sweeps.
