Here are two of the many things I came across at Berkeley High last week:



*BHS Mills-Campisi's Class Experiment Sept 2015*

I came across Berkeley High biology teacher Russell Mills-Campisi outside
doing a science experiment with his students. The experiment was one that
involved mixing Mentos with soda to achieve a chemical reaction. The
coolest thing was when I saw students pouring out soda to make space for
the experiment instead of drinking it. Our kids are smart.

*Watershed Poetry Festival Reading at Berkeley High 2015*

Berkeley High teacher Alan Miller delivered another successful program to
students last week, bringing three outstanding poets from this year’s
Watershed Poetry Festival. The annual festival took place in Berkeley on
Saturday. Mr. Miller has worked with the organizer for many years to bring
some of the poets into Berkeley High. Check out video and photos.
