Mission Accomplished

The students of BBA look forward to Thursdays. The faculty, not so much.

On Thursdays the Academy participates in an exchange program with nearly thirty regional schools. We load all the students, all the faculty, and the entire contents of the Academy and its grounds into the man-truck bus and head to the campus of the Cornerstone Assembly. There, the students of these regional schools run inside to network and socialize, while the faculty shuffle around the parking lot unpacking the entire contents of their home facilities with zombie-like efficiency. It may be called the greatest single-day transfer of schooling materials in the history of education.

The Academy is particularly excited about Thursdays because it sponsors a photography class. Today we spontaneously came up with a mission statement for the class:

We take unusual photographs of ordinary subjects, rather than ordinary photographs of unusual subjects

That, my friends, is one philosophically and grammatically profound digital photography class mission statement. The students were duly impressed. We do have our moments.

One of the photography students, 14 years old, took the photograph above for last week's assignment. With a simple click of a button, she positively made our week.
