Brent Sandona

 

Brent tells us that he is a student who loves his classes and it certainly shows in his 4.0 GPA from 7th through 12th grade. He volunteers at the Puget Sound Blood Bank and is a member of the National Honor Society. He has enjoyed being a mentor and tutor, so much that it is no surprise that he one day would like to become a teacher.

 

From an early age Brent was a performer and has starred in a number of productions from Brighton Beach Memoirs to Romeo and Juliet. He has also directed several plays and is branching out into film. Brent has chosen to attend the University of Washington and is considering a major in computer science, bio-medical engineering, math or physics, with a possible minor in film. He is excited about attending college and exploring his many interests.

 

Brent has shared that he is “positively delighted” about being selected to receive a BAEOP Scholarship.

BAEOP Student Scholarship Recipient for 2006

 

Wendy-Jean Fischer and committee members Christina Large and Paula Jo Brave were responsible for evaluating the applications received for the 2006 BAEOP Scholarship. They were very impressed with the four applications received and found each of them to be very deserving of the scholarship. After much deliberation, they were able to narrow it down to only one.

 

Christina Lo

 

Christina Lo, daughter of Ivy Lo (BSD Accounting Department), was selected as the BAEOP Scholarship winner for 2006. Christina attends Bellevue High School, where she has been an honor roll student since 2002, lieutenant captain of the drill team since 2003 and newsletter editor for the school newspaper since 2004. Christina has served as a volunteer at the Seattle Chinese School and was one of the cofounder of the S.T.A.R.S. mentoring program. She has been accepted by two schools in California, but has not yet decided which one she will be attending next fall. Her plans are to major in business and continue onto graduate school.

 

BAEOP has forwarded Christina's application to NAEOP to be considered for the Affiliate Sponsored Student Scholarship competition for 2006.

Andy Kreek

 

Andy Kreek, a student at Sammamish High School, was the BAEOP student scholarship winner for 2005. His application was one of eight received and evaluated by the Scholarship Committee, headed by Christina Kwong with members Paula Jo Brave, Maribel Estrada and Wendy Fischer assisting. They were impressed by all of the candidates and devoted many hours to come to the difficult decision of choosing only one.

 

Andy wrote the following to express his gratitude to the members of BAEOP. "Thank you for awarding me the BAEOP scholarship. I am honored by your investment in my education. In a few weeks I will graduate from Sammamish High School. For the last two years, I have also been participating in the Running Start program and I will graduate with an Associate of Arts Degree from Bellevue Community College. In the fall I will be attending the University of Chicago, where I plan to major in mathematics. I also intend to continue my pursuit of vocal performance and swimming. During the summer, I will be working for my second year as a lifeguard at City of Bellevue beaches."
