Basic High School Announces a Community Education Speaker Series call History in 3-D

A New Quarterly Speaker Series has been established at Basic High School in Henderson, NV to promote student and community education about historical events via local speakers who actually experienced these events. Our first speaker will be celebrated Holocaust speaker Ben Lesser. The riveting story Mr. Lesser tells of his personal experiences with the Nazis in Europe and in concentration camps is a story that is rapidly disappearing as many of the survivors are no longer around to tell the story. Be sure to take advantage of this rare opportunity to hear and meet a survivor of this awful period in the world's history. The first event in the series is October 5th, @ 6pm in the theater at the school. (Some information in Mr. Lesser's speech may be difficult for students under 14 years of age. Parental Discretion Advised). Cost is $5 per person. Keep checking back for future speaker announcements.

Our Yearbook, El Lobo, wins "All-American" award!

This puts the 2010 El Lobo Yearbook in the running for the prestigious Pacemaker Award, awarded for excellence since 1927.
