As a high school math tutor, Kathryn Kummel taught students to appreciate the beauty and practicality of mathematics in all facets of life.
“Math skills are often used as a cutoff point for academic, career and economic opportunities. Students can be denied because the math education system failed to serve them well,” Kathryn said. “I often work with students on two practical fronts: I help them catch up on assignments, and find and fill in gaps in their foundational math knowledge.”
Because of her dedication to community services excellence, the William J. Palmer High School senior is a 2020 Colorado Springs’ Best and Brightest Students recipient. Kathryn believes tutors are mentors that serve to remind others that success in math is attainable.

LINCOLN – Bhavya Chatragadda is the valedictorian of Lincoln High School’s Class of 2021, joined at the top by salutatorian Emily Ariza.
Chatragadda, daughter of Anka and Sujatha Chatragadda of River Road in Lincoln, has a GPA of about 4.11.
“I believe you should put 100 percent into everything you do,” Chatragadda told The Breeze. There’s a personal satisfaction that comes from “doing something to the best of your ability, no matter your ability.”
An AP Scholar with distinction and Harvard Book Award recipient, Chatragadda said she has always taken her academics seriously, but said hearing she was ranked at the top of her class at the end of freshman year motivated her to want to maintain that standing.
This Juxtaposition at GoComics struck me today not just because two cartoonists played with the same concept, but because it’s a pair of evergreen gags.
Which is not the same as a stolen gag, the difference being that Superman is such a widely parodied topic that we don’t expect earth-shattering originality, and I say that with confidence, given that it’s May 5th and so yesterday we were assailed with Star Wars gags, most of which were comfortably familiar riffs on a Beloved Topic.
Superman is not only a Beloved Topic, but the twisted, contradictory storyline his own creators have invented is simply begging to be mocked, for instance in the area of eye exams.

The pupils at The Mount Junior School were given the freedom to create their very own science fair In March, girls in York’s only all-girl junior school, The Mount, staged their own Science Fair. They had spent the Spring Term studying various facets of the human body in their Creative Curriculum and were invited to take on an exciting challenge - “Imagine you are part of science fair that is travelling the country. Children and adults will visit the fair to find out more about the human body. You are going to design and make an exhibit for The Human Body Roadshow.”
