Student Showcase wows families, community

Monday, April 23 turned out to be a packed-out night behind Mountain Brook City Hall for the third annual Student Showcase. From 5-7 p.m., inspired and excited groups of Kindergarten through 12th grade students shared everything from pottery, arts, music and creative writing to robotics, math clubs, economics trends and science experments.

The students set up presentations and hands-on demonstrations in the rows of dozens of booths in the area. Hundreds of community members, parents and nearby students from other schools roamed the area to get a taste of what Mountain Brook students have been up to this year. 

Superintendent Dicky Barlow said the public showcase was created to have students talk about what they're learning and share it with the community.
