is worth seeing, if you haven’t already. An unexpected September
rainstorm, which some credited to former Berkeley High teacher and coach Tim
Moellering, who generally avoided any attention, couldn't keep a crowd of over
250 away. Facilities quickly opened BTECH’s multipurpose room, and the
celebration, including the BBQ moved inside. It was a good thing that BTECH

was an interesting day at Berkeley High. I ran into Aaron Glimme and other
teachers and students giving blood in one of B-high’s annual blood
drives. Of course ever the scientist, Aaron wasn't just giving blood, he was
going the extra mile and giving plasma or platelets, as you can see in the
photos. Ask your science teacher what that's all about. According to Student
Activities Advisor John Villavicencio, 50 of the 60 people who signed up to
give blood were able to donate, myself included. Blood bank staff said they
usually average about 40 pints, so this was a good day. <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

off, when I stepped out after a delicious snack served by Kiwanis volunteers, I
found myself surrounded by students in the courtyard playing folk guitars. At
first I thought I might have stood up too fast after giving blood, but then I
saw BUSD’s own modern music teacher Peter Gidlund, strolling among
them playing a guitar of his own, stopping along the way to give individual
instruction. Does it get any better than that? Check out a few photos of
both: on Flickr.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
