Big Picture Charter School
November 6, 2011
Big Picture Learning is an established charter high school organization that will be submitting a charter in just a couple of months to the Sequoia Union High School District. This high school option will soon be available to the families of San Carlos. It is a charter high school that has a mission similar to San Carlos Charter Learning Center. Their approach to learning is offering a project-based learning environment with opportunities for real world learning experiences that CLC also offers its learners.
Big Picture Learning is an organization that was founded in 1995 with the establishment of the first MET High School in Providence, Rhode Island. Big Picture School has 67 schools nationwide and has been growing ever since.
Big Picture Learning believes that high school graduates must know how to reason, problem-solve, and be active members of the community. At Big Picture Learning schools, there is no canon of information that all students must know. In a world where available information is growing exponentially, we believe that the most important thing a student needs to know is how to learn. Integral to the Big Picture Learning design are the five Learning Goals, a framework for looking at concepts, skills, and abilities and help guide the creation of personalized student curriculum.
There is an informational meeting taking place on Thursday, November 10, 2011 from 5:30-7:30 PM, at the following address:
Holbrook-Palmer Park Pavilion
150 Watkins Ave.
Atherton, CA 94027
I hope that you will be able to join me at this exciting event and to learn more about a great new high school opportunity coming to the Sequoia District.

Legendary Menlo-Atherton football coach Ben Parks dies.
September 25, 2011
Legendary Menlo-Atherton football coach Ben Parks dies – San Jose Mercury News. So sorry to hear the news of this great man. Imagine the hardship he endured as a child. He became such a great man because of his beliefs and honor. If you ask anyone in the high schools that have met him, he was a man of honor. He helped children with their sport, like no one else could. I was privileged to meet his son, another great man. The apple doesn’t fall far from the tree. I learned a lot from his son, who is also a player, but a life is an example and this family sure had a great one. Ben Parks Rest In Peace!
