BENTON SPANISH CLUB PREMIERS "UNA CARTA A DIOS"

  Benton High School Junior Ren Scott was bit by the acting bug at an early age. He has been living his dream of being in film for the last several years, landing several roles in various movies, and is currently wrapping up shooting for the fourth season of Treme, on HBO.

  Now, Scott can add director and producer to his resume', with the debut of "Una Carta a Dios," which translates to mean "A Letter to God." The screenplay, adapted for a short film by Scott and Benton High Spanish teacher Juan Alvarez, is spoken entirely in Spanish.

  "Mr. Alvarez has been teaching so much, including conversational Spanish," explained Scott, "and I've been wanting to do a film, so I thought 'why not do a Spanish film?'"

  Scott then enlisted the help of his fellow classmates and Benton Associated Spanish Students, who were the actors in the film. They spent two long Saturdays taping at a local farm, and a couple of days at school.

  "If you get the right mix of people that want to support you, you can make things like this happen," Scott said. Even Principal Mitch Downey starred in a cameo role.

  Hunter Horton, one of the actors in "Una Carta a Dios," commented on Scott's directorial abilities.

  "He was tough, but outstanding," said Horton. "We're just from the country town of Benton, but we got a little glimpse of Hollywood."

  The storyline follows Lencho, a farmer who fears going hungry because of drought, then a heavy rainstorm that destroyed his crop. He decides to write a letter to God, asking for 100 pesos to sustain him until the next harvest. The producers took some creative freedom with the story and incorporated their own twist, particularly for the ending.

  Alvarez was highly impressed with Scott's understanding of and take on the ages-old Mexican story. The Spanish teacher said he has seen other re-creations of the film, but said "This is by far the best."

  Students in the Spanish club were eager to see the final cut and gave it their thumbs-up at the film's recent premier at school. This summer, Scott said he and a couple of classmates will re-edit and "polish up" the film. Then, he is going to start writing the sequel.

  "Hunter, Mr. Alvarez, Chris Conway and I are going to pick up where we left off and write it over the summer," Scott said.

  So be on the look-out for "Una Carta a Dios," the sequel, in the fall. For a look at the trailer, click here.

AIRLINE STUDENT MAKES MAGAZINE COVER

  There is nothing like being on the cover of a magazine. That is probably what Pablo Marroquin will tell you.

  The Airline High School senior is gracing the front of Vita Latina  for his excellent season in wrestling. He is also being recognized for being an outstanding role model for fellow Hispanics. What a neat way for Pablo to end his senior year!

HAUGHTON'S SETH MADDEN WINS AFCEA SCHOLARSHIP

  Before a packed ballroom of dignitaries recently at a banquet at Sam's Town, Haughton High School Senior Seth Madden walked across stage to accept a most prestigious honor. He was the only Bossier Parish student to win a scholarship from the Armed Forces Communications and Electronics Association (AFCEA), one of the world's premier professional societies.

  The AFCEA is comprised of political, military and industry leaders and has 135 chapters in over 30 countries and serves as a liaison agency of sorts between governmental requirements and industries that represent top government, industry and military professionals. The AFCEA Scholarship Program focuses on students with dreams of advancing in Science, Technology, Engineering or Math (STEM) related fields.

  Seth is ranked number one in his 2013 graduating class at Haughton. His accolades and achievements are many, some of which include being named to the Honor Roll every semester, recipient of the Elks Club Honesty and Integrity Award, a member of the school's prominent Red Jackets and Louisiana Boy's State Delegate. He is also involved in sports, several clubs, volunteers with Susan G. Komen, the City of Haughton and Haughton Dixie Baseball. Seth's future plans after graduation are to attend Louisiana State University in Baton Rouge this fall to pursue a Biological Science/Pre-Veterinary Medicine path. 

  Following Seth being named a recipient of the AFCEA scholarship, he was recognized May 15 at the Bossier Parish Police Jury meeting. A resolution was read and Billy Montgomery, liaison with the Police Jury, presented Seth with a plaque to recognize his outstanding achievement.

  Bossier Schools would also like to congratulate Seth Madden for this prestigious accomplishment. We know you will be just as successful in college as you proved to be at Haughton High School.

SIX STUDENTS TO ADVANCE ACADEMIC CAREER

  Six Bossier Parish seniors will be able to further their education after high school, thanks to a late philanthropist.

  The Cloteal Monroe Annual Student Scholarship was established in 1999 by the late Clotean Monroe, who was a resident of Bossier. The purpose of the annual scholarship is to provide financial assistance to well-deserving students in the Bossier Parish School System wishing to attend college or enroll in a technical school.

  The CMASS Board would like to congratulate the following recipients for the 2012-13 school year: Erica Anderson, Parkway; Kayla Arrington, Airline; Zerek Curry, Airline; Garrett Green, Parkway; Trent Hubbard, Parkway; and Tiffany Smith, Bossier High.

  Each of these students will receive a thousand dollars for four consecutive years if they maintain the scholarship requirements. They were recognized at a recent Bossier School Board meeting by No Child Left Behind Title I Supervisor Willie Blackshire.

  Congratulations, again, to these deserving seniors.
