CBNA ANNOUNCES RESULTS OF “TRICK OR TREAT SO KIDS CAN EAT” FOOD DRIVE

The Educational Theatre Association (EdTA) and its student honorary organization, the International Thespian Society, are pleased to announce the results of Coe- Brown Northwood Academy’s participation in the International Thespian Society’s Trick or Treat So Kids Can Eat program, a national community service initiative for ITS-member schools to help communities by collecting food for local charities and food banks. On October 30 and 31, CBNA Thespian Troupe #5976 collected 1665 pounds of canned food and dry goods which were donated to the Northwood Food Pantry. Senior Hannah Grady chaired the collection drive as her senior project and 40 CBNA students assisted her with the collection, sorting and delivery. Troupe #5976 would like to thank everyone who contributed canned goods during the drive. Students would like you to know that you’ve made a huge difference for people in need throughout the community.

CBNA FBLA 2014 Fall Activities

CBNA's Pink Out Event

CBNA FBLA Members Cara La Plante, Alandra Beaver, Meghan Percy, Brittany Guillemette, Daphne Jordan and Katherine Hyland help hand out breast cancer awareness materials at CBNA’s “Pink-Out” day.

The Coe-Brown Northwood Academy chapter of Future Business Leaders of America (FBLA) has been extremely busy during the first part of the school year. Members Nicole Beaupre, Meghan Percy, Andrew Shultz, Alex Yonchak, Brittany Guillemette, and Daphne Jordan, along with advisor Dr. JoAnn Zylak, attended the annual FBLA Fall Leadership Workshop on Thursday, October 9 at Southern NH University. These six members got a chance to meet the State Officer team, had a workshop by an inspirational speaker on “It’s Up to You!” and attended workshops on Team Building/Leadership Training and on Law Enforcement/ Leadership in the community. The chapter participated in Breast Cancer Awareness on October 22 at CBNA—wearing all pink, giving out pink ribbons, and sharing breast cancer statistics (awareness) through announcements during the week. Members have already been taught to juggle by faculty member Greg Samuel to learn the concept of juggling life activities at an FBLA workshop here at CBNA, and are participating in the LifeSmarts competition online. In the future, the chapter will be Helping Veterans through awareness on Veteran’s Day, by walking in the Veteran’s Day Parade in Manchester, and by volunteering to help serve at a veteran’s breakfast in Manchester. CBNA FBLA also participates in the Multiple Sclerosis Walk and Awareness every April in Manchester and collects throughout the year for the MS Society and the March of Dimes to help find cures, and will have guest speakers at the FBLA Induction Ceremony on Nov. 10 to get more information about these debilitating conditions. FBLA members are also collecting for Children’s Hospital at Dartmouth, and have already donated all their “tip” money earned by working at the Farmer’s Market Booth at Deerfield Fair and will continue collecting for CHaD until March of next year to help children in need. Members have made a children’s piggy bank which is available for donations at CBNA. In addition, members are involved with Diabetes awareness activities and hope to have a Virtual Business Challenge going throughout this year. More guest speakers and conferences as well as a spring competition in various business, computer, math, and economic areas are planned.

The Harlem Rockets Comedy Basketball Team Is Coming to CBNA

Rockets Team Picture

Members of the Harlem Rockets Showtime Basketball will be coming to Coe-Brown on Friday, November 21, 2014 to benefit CBNA Hoop.

Coe-Brown Northwood Academy will be hosting some very special guests on Friday, November 21, 2014 at 7 pm at the Smith Hall gym on the CBNA Campus. The Harlem Rockets, a talented group of basketball entertainers who combine incredible show time basketball skills and family-friendly comedy, will face the CBNA Faculty All-Stars in a game benefiting the CBNA Basketball Program.

Having played over 2500 games in 16 years without a single defeat, the Harlem Rockets offer something for everyone to enjoy. Sports enthusiasts will be intrigued by the athleticism and size of the Rockets. Basketball aficionados will be dazzled by the ball-handling wizardry of Clarence “Mugsy” Leggett. Mugsy is one of the world’s extraordinary dribblers and a former Harlem Globetrotter, satiated by the game of Devon “The People’s Choice” Curry and left awestruck by high-flying dunks of Cliff “Jet Blue” Malone, who was featured in the Nike commercial released on Super Bowl Day. Since this is comedy basketball, the Harlem Rockets present to you the All Time Funny Man and one of Show Basketball’s Greats……. James “Speedy “Williams, who was featured in the movie, “Above The Rim” starring Tupac Shakur and Duane Martin. Speedy was also one of the “Original Nike Free-Style Ballers in the Nike Commercial, he performed live at the MTV Music Awards while Jay Z did his thing, and is better known as The “Crowned Prince of Laughs”. The Harlem Rockets incorporate the audience, especially children, into the show and are always available to meet the fans and give autographs at halftime and after the game.

In this special event to raise money for the Coe-Brown Northwood Academy boys and girls basketball programs, the CBNA Faculty All-Star “Dream Team” has graciously agreed to face the Harlem Rockets.

Advance tickets for what promises to be a fun-filled evening for the community are $8 for students and seniors and $10 for adults and are available from basketball team members or at the CBNA Main Office. Tickets will also be available at the door the night of the game at a cost of $10 for students and seniors and $12 for adults. Get your tickets early. This is a special event you don’t want to miss.
