Congratulations to Allison Graham, BCHS Class of ’13, who was recently named editor of the IDS (Indiana Daily Student) at IU. This a huge responsibility and a great honor for her. This summer she interned and published with the Pulitzer prize-winning The Post & Courier in Charleston, SC.

We recently heard from Emily Schafer, BCHS Class of 2010. She writes:

I entered Candidacy with the Daughters of Holy Mary of the Heart of Jesus. They are a religious order from Madrid, Spain. They have a Novitiate in Steubanville, OH where I will be for Candidacy, Postulancy and 1 year of Novitiate.

Lauren Brown, BCHS Class of 2013, had the opportunity to work with the Indiana Writers Center this summer as an intern for their Building a Rainbow outreach program. She spent a few weeks writing with Indianapolis youth at the Saint Florian Summer Camp–a leadership development camp downtown organized by a few Indianapolis Firefighters from the Saint Florian Center who give up their vacation hours to run this camp. She writes: “I got to sit down with these kids–obtusely and unfairly considered “at risk”–and hear them tell their stories on paper. We took the kids’ writing and published it into a book called “I Remember: Indianapolis Youth Write about Their Lives 2016,” which was just released this past weekend. In it, kids whom I grew to love tell stories about what kind of animal they most identify with, a time when they felt strong, a time when they didn’t feel heard. They shared both hilarious accounts and heartbreaking accounts. I’m telling you this because these kids, this experience, this book all mean a great deal to me.” If you’re curious about the book, it is available on Amazon at this link
