No one expects a weather delay in May, but heavy rains and flooding nearly swamped the BRVGS 2014 Senior Exposition this past Friday, causing a 2 hour delay for several BRVGS member school districts. After a great deal of communication via text, email and phone calls, however, students, teachers, and evaluators rallied and started the Expo only 1 hour late. Despite such an inauspicious start, the Expo went amazingly well, and BRVGS seniors did an excellent job representing BRVGS and their home schools.
Approximately 90 high school seniors from seven member schools shared information about their impressive internship, research and community service projects at the BRVGS Senior Exposition. One student, recently moved out of state, even participated in the Expo "virtually" through a Google Hangout, talking with evaluators and fellow classmates via computer throughout the event.
Students from Fluvanna, Greene, Madison, Nelson, Louisa, Orange, and Goochland counties displayed and presented information on a wide variety of project topics such as criminal justice, music, medicine, ecology, radio astronomy, and student stress, just to name a few.

Many thanks to Orange County School Board staff for their gracious hosting of the event, and to all of the evaluators who contributed their valuable time and energy to making the BRVGS Senior Expo a success for all participants!
