They’re throwing and running strong up at Bothell High.
Cougar senior Allie Hadley broke the school record with a throw of 140 feet, four inches in javelin on April 14 at the Pasco Invite. She currently is ranked first in state.
“A Grand Night for Singing,” Bothell High’s spring musical this year, promises to be just that. A combination of songs and medleys from some of Broadway’s most loved musicals, the show will run at 7:30 p.m. on April 6, 7, 13 and 14 with 2 p.m. matinees on April 7 and 14 at the Northshore Preforming Arts Center (NPAC).
Bothell High boys will battle it out in a talent competition at the annual Mr. Bothell contest from 7:30-9 p.m. March 1 at the Northshore Performing Arts Center (18125 92nd Ave. N.E., Bothell).
Visitors of Seattle often look forward to sightseeing spots such as the Space Needle, Pike Place Market and Gas Works Park, but now… Gauguin? The Seattle Art Museum (SAM) is hosting a new exhibit at the downtown location, “Gauguin and Polynesia: An Elusive Paradise.” From now through Apr. 29, visitors and art lovers alike can experience the art of French artist Paul Gauguin.
Students will take the stage to showcase their talents Feb. 10 in Bothell High’s Annual Talent Show. From 7-9 p.m. in the Nothshore Performing Arts Center, students can watch their fellow classmates battle it out with their voices, humor, musical skills and more.
Retro — the idea of bringing the past back to life — has captivated people for ages. Vintage clothes, vintage jewelry and vintage furniture intrigues buyers and sellers alike, making past styles and antiques current. Now, vintage movies can be added to the list.
Many Northshore students were ecstatic when school was canceled because of snow on Tuesday, expanding the three-day Martin Luther King Jr. holiday weekend to four days. Neighborhood streets were filled with sledding kids, and snowmen popped up in front yards all across the area. For Bothell High students, the extra day seemed like a gift, allowing them more time to study for the upcoming finals.
While most students will be sitting in class the last week before holiday break, Bothell High’s 22-student chamber orchestra will be playing in the “Windy City,” Chicago.
From Dec. 12-16, director Philip Dean and the chamber orchestra will be attending the 65th Annual Midwest Clinic, an international band and orchestra conference with the goal to raise the standards of music education. Approximately 15,800 students, educators and professionals from about 30 countries attend the clinic each year and participate in or attend the 30 concerts. The concerts include performances by elementary, middle-school, high-school, university, military and professional groups.
With the passing of Bothell High’s Homecoming and December almost here, the back-to-school rush has finally died down and students seem to have settled into a routine. However, for many seniors, the pressure is still on.
Nine Bothell High newspaper students recently joined 800 other high-school students from around Washington for Journalism Day (J-Day) on the University of Washington campus.
Sponsored by Washington Journalism Education Association, J-Day was a daylong event comprised of 26 journalism-related sessions ranging from “Student Press Law” to “Investigative Journalism” to “The Craft of Editing” all taught by local professionals and professors in the business. Students were encouraged to attend two sessions throughout the day based on their interests and editorial positions.
Peg Dowd, owner of Bothell Main Street’s Shannon’s Flowers and Gifts, celebrated 50 years in business and her last day on Oct. 12.
She has retired, and Bothell Florist on Northeast 183rd Street is in talks about absorbing/merging her business. Dowd plans to work two days a week to help with the transition.
Dowd is passionate about her business and town, and Marlene Hofer of downtown Bothell’s Steve’s Café calls her “a wonderful person and always a supporter of downtown Bothell.”
Dedicated. Enthusiastic. Talented. These are the words that first came to mind as I watched 38 Bothell High students rehearse for the 6th Annual Broadway Musical Revue.
A mix of sophomores, juniors and seniors showed up at Bothell High two weeks early for six-hour day rehearsals, six days a week. They’ll take the stage Sept. 9-10.
