| Brody Luebkeman and Lauren Chouinard, juniors at Monte Vista High School, study a twin office building designed by Julian Lee to show "progress and harmony." It was one of hundreds of student projects created by high school students in the San Ramon Valley Unified School District and showcased at the annual Student Recognition Project Open House on Thursday afternoon at Oak Hill Park Community Center.
Projects were completed in 21 categories, both within and outside the curriculum. The efforts were judged by professionals in the business community with expertise in each category. The program is coordinated by the San Ramon Valley Business and Education Roundtable, to create collaboration among students, educators and the business community and to prepare students for the business world.
Categories included acting, applied design, architecture, automotive sciences, computer aided drafting, community service, computer science, creative writing, dance, entrepreneur, financial planning/investment, home economics, journalism, instrumental music, vocal music, photography, science and technology, video production, visual arts and Web design.

The concept of such creativity in our SRVUSD high schools is a great and wonderful idea! I commend the students for their efforts.
But humor could be imagined in such student projects. What if a student designed a model of a very silly roundabout for the Alamo Plaza. What if the twin tower model pictured in the article was built at MVHS as the Stang Academy for the Comedic Arts in honor of Arnold Stang.
Seriously, HUMOR should be a category for these very creative projects and maybe, just maybe, FANTASY should also be added.
A round of applause for the projects and their creators,
OX

What if a student actually proposed a better solution to local issues in a creative project? It is very likely, now isn't it.
A student would not consider a roundabout a solution or that a Y fits just fine deep in the Hemme neighborhood. In fact, I want to propose another category for these creative projects, Politics. Our students are more globally sensitive and less tied to the cultures of their grandparents that now define our local politics.
A creative solution to community might result.
