"Second Chance Dreamer"
![]() |
| The Art Club members helped design and paint this unicorn for the Gallopalooza, Louisville’s Sidewalk Derby. David Burks, a board member, was so taken with how the students wanted to keep this horse that he bought and donated her to Maryhurst. She is now deemed the school’s mascot, “Second Chance Dreamer,” While painting her, one of her inspired student creators wrote a feature article that was published in several magazines and newsletters citywide and continues to be used in advertisement for Maryhurst. |

Maryhurst School received the 2006 Brightside "Fred Wiche Award" for a plan submitted for an outdoor classroom called, "Garden of Hope." Teachers will utilize the classroom throughout the year in all content areas. Students helped design the garden plot and implemented their plans with help from a local company, "Liquid Landscapes". Students learned "real world" skills through all aspects of the award-winning projects.
A dedication was held on August 14, 2007 to celebrate this achievement. Students, teachers and members of Brightside were in attendance. It is anticipated that teachers and students will use this outdoor "Garden of Hope" for many years as a place for quiet reflection and study. |

Language Arts classes have produced two editions of a teen magazine entitled “Bring It On Girlz” this past school year. Students wrote personal memoirs on a variety of topics such as “ My First Love”, “Getting Rid of My Fear of Heights” and an advice format entitled “Believe Me Please”, and other stories that are of most interest to a teen audience. This writing encouraged students to discover ways to write in an authentic manner to a real audience. Ms. Pam Miller, teacher, directed the project and enlisted the help of a local printing company to produce the magazine, making the work even more professional in appearance. Enough copies were printed so that every student and staff member were able to enjoy the work. The cover design of the second edition featured a sample of a decorated mask that students created to introduce individual stories.

ZOO TEEN SAFARI : Approximately sixteen students took a week-long safari to the Louisville Zoo where they were able to see first hand how a zoo is managed. Students learned how much food it takes to feed six elephants per day as well as what kinds of foods giraffes really like to munch on. The new gorilla exhibit, which was just opened in the spring of 2002, was the most popular exhibit as our students were able to visit before the zoo actually opened to the public to get a closer look at these creatures. |

The "Survivors" magazine is a teen publication and part of the school's enrichment program. Students learn photography skills such as still life, animal portraits and candid shots of people which are included in the articles. Writings are contributed from all content areas and illustrations are provided by the art enrichment program. |
