  • 2018-2019 Annual Report 1 Message from the Superintendent
    2018-2019 ANNUAL REPORT 1 MESSAGE FROM THE SUPERINTENDENT Vestavia Hills City Schools has completed another exciting chapter in its rich tradition. The aspiration for high performance has been evident from the birth of our school system in 1970 and continues today. While revising the goals in our new strategic plan this spring, we reflected on the defining moments of our system that were integral to its success. A look back at the history of our school system is to see one that grew through many changes and maintained its stellar reputation. Today, Vestavia Hills traverses from the Sybil Temple, through Cahaba Heights, and to the farthest reaches of Liberty Park. As unique as each part of our city is, there is something special that unites all of us. For the past year, our central office leadership team has been studying organizations that are perpetually high performers in their respective fields. Each has its own distinct strategy based on what their customers want. All of them, however, share the common ingredient of having a vibrant and healthy culture. Employees love to be a part of this type of organization, and their customers know it. The effective confluence of strategy and culture is the recipe for long-term success in any organization. Management guru Peter Drucker distinguished between the two, however, when he said, “Culture eats strategy for breakfast.” He recognized that both were essential to success, but the results of a good strategy are short-lived if the culture is unhealthy. After having spent a full year as superintendent in this wonderful system, it is obvious to me that the binding agent in our community is the culture of excellence in each of our schools.

Kurt Hummel’s Language Features in Glee Television Series Season 1: A Sociolinguistic Analysis. Yogyakarta: English Language Education Study Program, Sanata Dharma University. The use of language by individuals is influenced by many factors. Gender is one factor that influences the use of language. In this research, gender is seen to be different from sex. It is seen as a social construction rather than as a fixed category. As a result, women and men do not stick to one language style but change it based on their social context. Therefore, the researcher was interested in analyzing the women’s language used by a feminine man named Kurt Hummel in Glee Television Series Season 1. In conducting the research, a research question was formulated: What women’s language features does Kurt Hummel use in his speech in Glee Television Series Season 1? The research was qualitative research in which discourse analysis was employed to analyze the data.

    GLEE "LAST NATIONALS" Written by Kyle Burbank [email protected] (480) 510-2629 1 INT. BREADSTIX -- NIGHT 1 ARTIE, TINA, BLAINE and SAM sit in a booth at BREADSTIX. A BANNER saying “CONGRATULATIONS” hangs from the table. They have PUNCH GLASSES raised as Blaine is about to give a toast. BLAINE To the reigning champion New Directions! They cheers, and drink. TINA We couldn’t have done it without you, Blaine. BLAINE Well, thanks, Tina. But we’re a team and we came together to make it happen! SAM (trying to play along) Yeah, and this punch is as sweet as the victory we have achieved. ARTIE Yeahhh, Blaine, I hate to be the one to ask, but why are we having a victory party before we’ve even competed? BLAINE Guys! It’s called “envisioning”. If you have a positive attitude and envision yourself winning, then you will. (then) Besides, I thought it would be nice for us seniors to get together and enjoy our time together before we graduate. SAM What -- aren’t we all just going to New York? TINA I’m not going to New York... It’s slightly awkward, but it gets even more awkward because as Tina finishes her sentence, SUE appears at the end of their table. (CONTINUED) "Last Nationals" 2. 1 CONTINUED: 1 SUE Well, well, well -- if it isn’t the Old Directions -- presumably celebrating the creation of yet another ridiculously random organization. I’m guessing this one is the “Teens Who Don’t Read ‘Yelp’ Reviews Club”. BLAINE Actually, we’re celebrating our impeding Nationals win.

  • Staging Resistance in Bil'in
    Staging Resistance in Bil‘in The Performance of Violence in a Palestinian Village Rania Jawad On 17 June 2011, young actors of the Freedom Theatre, based in the Jenin Refugee Camp, gathered together in the Palestinian village of Bil‘in as if in celebration.1 The rhythm of drums, horns, and traditional Palestinian dance set the scene. The actors staged a short sketch on the dirt road leading to the village’s agricultural fields. The moment the act ended and the actors began to step away, the stage area of their performance was hit by tear gas canisters. The rhyth­ mic sounds were replaced by an Israeli barrage of rubber bullets, tear gas, and sewage water; spectators came armed with hospital masks and cameras. The spectacle of celebration, perfor­ mance, and violence are all part of a protest campaign enacted weekly in Bil‘in since 2005. The ways in which art and politics are represented contributes to how they are under­ stood and practiced. By reading them together, or more specifically, by investigating the politics behind artistic stagings and framings of political actions, the role of spectatorship becomes key. 1. For a short video of the event, see www.youtube.com/watch?v=SDdtr_HQzFQ&feature=player_embedded (YouTube.com 2011). TDR: The Drama Review 55:4 (T212) Winter 2011. ©2011 128 New York University and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology Downloaded from http://www.mitpressjournals.org/doi/pdf/10.1162/DRAM_a_00127 by guest on 03 October 2021 A discourse of nonviolence and a highly visible theatricality have framed the Palestinian village of Bil‘in and its residents’ struggle against the Israeli confiscation of their lands.
