Q& A<br />
with Chelsea and Jericho,<br />
MCH art students<br />
MCH youth Chelsea, Jericho<br />
and Ty are participating in<br />
the Young Artists Competition<br />
sponsored by the Studio<br />
Gallery in Waco. The contest<br />
features artwork created by<br />
high school juniors and seniors<br />
from McLennan County.<br />
Susan Roberts, art teacher<br />
at the University of Texas-<br />
University Charter School,<br />
coordinated the competition<br />
among MCH students.<br />
We visited with Chelsea and<br />
Jericho about the contest.<br />
Chelsea, what has this meant<br />
to you?<br />
I never thought I could draw.<br />
Mrs. Roberts really encouraged<br />
me and pushed me to<br />
learn more. Being chosen<br />
was really exciting. I have<br />
never been in a competition<br />
before much less won anything.<br />
My family was really<br />
happy for me.<br />
Ag Science<br />
Show Season Results: MCH<br />
students in the Ag Science<br />
and FFA programs recorded<br />
a strong showing this fall,<br />
winning numerous awards<br />
in competitions. One of<br />
the highlights came at the<br />
2012 Heart O’ Texas Fair<br />
and Rodeo where MCH won<br />
the Sweepstakes Award for<br />
Ag Mechanics. Out of 20 total<br />
shop projects, MCH won<br />
seven first-place awards, two<br />
second-place awards and two<br />
third-place awards. The Ag<br />
Science program is taught by<br />
Steve Kruse.<br />
Waco Campus<br />
MCH added street signs to the Waco<br />
Campus in January to make it easier for<br />
visitors and emergency personnel to find<br />
their way around campus. The street<br />
names communicate important aspects of<br />
MCH’s history, mission and current programs.<br />
The six street names are: <strong>Sunshine</strong><br />
Street, Heritage Trail, Bulldog Drive, Faith<br />
Way, Hope Street and Legacy Lane.<br />
The University of Texas-University Charter School at MCH celebrated<br />
its Homecoming in October. Members of this year’s Homecoming<br />
Court were, from left, Kristin, Ashley and Kandaja. Ashley was<br />
elected Homecoming Queen.<br />
Jericho, how do you feel<br />
about the competition?<br />
I always enjoyed my grandmother’s<br />
artwork. She was<br />
very creative. When she<br />
passed I decided to try it. It<br />
helps me feel connected to<br />
her and I have found I have<br />
some of her talent. It will be<br />
fun to see how we all do in<br />
the overall competition.<br />
